helllo, ive been trying to install the 285.62 update for the drivers on my evga geforce gtx 590. but i always get that message in the title. all the components that are listed just say 'Not Installed' ->nvidia update, physx system software, 3d vision controller driver, hd audio driver, graphics driver,  3d vision driver. ive downloaded 285.62 from this website, nvidia's website, and the disc that came with the graphics card and all gave me the same exact message. ive tried uninstalling all the drivers, but im stuck with just Nvidia Graphics Driver 275.33 which cannot be uninstalled. Please Help!!!

Try to completely remove the drivers in control panel than put the disc in it came with and try to install that way if that don't work download the beta driver

tried both, same result. the 275.33 in unable to be removed. when i double click it to uninstall, nothing happens

Restart your computer you have to remove before you can install other but try the 290.xx beta driver I can't remember last 2 numbers lol our have you tried the evga beta our regular driver from evga but first most get rid of other driver do a hard renoir if you have to or go to further lengths just get rid of it lol

Sorry I'm typing from phone I meant have you tried to download from evga site for the beta drivers lol or regular drivers also

ive only downloaded the regular drivers off of evga. but off of nvidia, ive downloaded regular and the beta drivers 

Well I think your best very here is to remove card try to remove drivers reinsert card then go for the beta driver first

no luck :(

this works ....follow it you wont go wrong

i changed the windows update as noted. but Found New Hardware searches for the vga, but when completed, it says "Nvidia Geforce GTX 590      Ready to use" and also the 3D controller thing keeps trying to install when i restart. what should i do then to prevent it. and also my account IS an admin account

the 3D isnt listed in Add/remove programs but is listed under Device Manager

Your confusing yourself
Follow the guide, you should not be working with the device manager.
You are NOT attempting to remove the the Videocard or its Standard VGA device sofware. 
 
I suggest you take a step back, have a cup of coffee and read the guide thru slowly.
Then do a clean boot to the desktop and try again.
 
 

ive done everything the guide says to do. but when i have to individually uninstall everything from add/remove programs, im still stuck with the Nvidia Graphics Driver 275.33 not being able to uninstall. it was already the only Nvidia program under add/remove programs so it was the only thing that needs to be uninstalled

What OS are you using? It may come down to needing to reinstall your OS if your driverstore or registry has become corrupted. You may be able to do an 'in place' upgrade install which will leave all your programs intact leaving you with just installing Windows Updates.

im using windows 7 ultimate 64

If all attempts to remove the previous driver have failed, and you cannot install any drivers,  doing an in place upgrade reinstall of the OS is probably your safest bet and the most likely to succeed. As always, make sure you back up any critical files. I've never had it fail, but you never know.

ok awesome, thanks much :-) im gonna give it a shot. wish me luck! ill keep everybody posted

Do you know how to do an 'upgrade install'? it's essentially the same process as if you upgraded from Vista. The installer will ask when you start the install. Select Upgrade, and you should be good to go.

yeah i know how to do it. lol countless number of times ive had to do this kind of stuff

If you have a win 7 recovery cd, boot from it and do a repair.
