I'm trying to update the ForceWare drivers for my old NVidia GeForce 4 4200 video card, but the installer fails and quits without making any changes. When I try to install the drivers manually from Device Manager, I keep getting "There was a problem installing this hardware: Access Is Denied" error messages from Windows XP during near the end of the driver installation.
Here's what I've tried to resolve the problem so far:
1) Disable the Anti-Virus scanner and install the drivers again again. No help.
2) Uninstall all of the old video card drivers, and then reinstall them as administrator in Safe Mode. Same error.
3) Used Driver Cleaner Pro to completely remove the old drivers, and THEN tried reinstalling them as administrator in Safe Mode. Still Nothing.
4) Tried the new 93.81 Beta ForceWare drivers. Same dismal results.
Does anyone have any other ideas on how to fix this problem, other than reinstall Windows? I think that I'm almost to that point, but I'd like a second opinion before I have to blow my entire system away for such a small problem.
