Did you positively remove all old driver components? If not, then boot to safe mode and uninstall all ATI and nVidia display drivers with Driver Cleaner Pro:

Then reboot and install nVidia drivers again, I've found these very good for 6600 GT:

If it still doesn't work, uninstall all codecs visible in "add and remove programs" and also uninstall video and audio codecs from device manager under "sound, video and game controllers. Then do a reboot, windows should re-install default codecs automatically. Then install FFDSHOW, which includes most common video and audio codecs, including DivX and Xvid:

I hope your forearm doesn't wither because of this misfortune.
