i got my 8800gts yesterday. on the nvidia website the latest drivers are 97.xx so i installed those and got my comp running. now i want to install the 100.95. i have the downlaod from guru3d but when i execute it it just un archives the file into the download directory. there is not installed or setup.exe (or something like that). how do i got about replacing the 97.xx with these.

Have to do it the old-fashioned way, although some other sites have the uncompressed versions that work with the setup.exe (NGOHQ I think).

Right-Click My Computer > Properties > Hardware > Device Manager

Display Adapter twisty > Right-Click Video Adapter/8800 GTS > Update Drivers

Select "Do Not Search. I will choose the location etc."

Browse to where you extracted the 100 series drivers.

ok i got impatient and before reading the post i deleted the 97.xx folder in the nvidia and replaced it with the 100.95 folder. well it seems to work. i have played oblivion. i guess i'll try the method posted above if problems occurs.
