Need help to remove Nvidia remnants after installing ATI

Black Panther · Feb 5, 2010

So this is my first ATI card. I removed the nvidia driver, ran driver cleaner pro in safe mode.

However in my Program List in the Control Panel I have these 3 items I cannot remove:

-Nvidia Performance
-Nvidia Physx
-Nvidia System monitor

Whenever I try I get the message "This software requires an Nvidia device to operate" and the uninstall gets aborted.
I can't uninstall them in Safe Mode because they require the Windows Installer service to run.

Any clue?

Try Driver Sweeper in Safe Mode.

+1 tigr! i love driver sweeper. its fast and it removes it all

Sorry I forgot to say that I ran Driver Sweeper as well in my first post.

brandonwh64 · Feb 5, 2010

and that didnt remove the driver? hmmm this sounds more hardware related. have you tried this ATI card in another PC?

TIGR · Feb 5, 2010

Do you still have the nVidia card physically installed?

Black Panther · Feb 5, 2010

Brandon, those programs aren't the driver.... Even I forgot what they were (except for Physx of course) I think they were some monitoring programs.

Tigr, no I have only one pci-e card..

Here's what I'm speaking of:

Just to clarify: your old card is nVidia PCI Express and your new card is an ATI PCI Express, right? I'm wondering if you still have the nVidia card installed (physically). If so, I'd suggest re-installing the drivers for it, then rebooting, uninstalling everything in the Control Panel, then rebooting in safe mode and running Driver Sweeper. Then shut down and physically install the ATI card and install drivers. Should work fine unless I'm misunderstanding something.

Thanks I'll try that. I have the 8800GT (sitting on the desk) and the 5970 inside the pc.

Try to remove ALL Nvidia programs in your system, not only drivers.

if that's not work too, reinstall your OS, that's your final solution.

you're gunna have to install the nvidia card to uninstall the software.

as for drivercleaner and such, you DO NOT need to do that in vista/7.

I'm using THIS for cleaning drivers remnant and programs in Windows Vista / 7

its simply not needed.

Unlike XP, vista can only load one video driver at a time - so there is zero chance of conflicts.

7 can load multiple drivers at the same time, but doesnt seem to mind - i've ran ATI + nvidia cards in the same machine without any conflicts at all. And if the card work fine, drivers without cards will too
