This is the worst installer I have seen out of Nvidia to date. It can completely booger up your system! Count yourself lucky if you got through installing this version just by running the routine.
First off, if you are using surround (either 2D or 3D), then turn all of that off before trying to run the installer. Second, don't bother trying to run it from a normal boot, but rather go into safe mode.
Boot into safe mode and use the Windows Control Panel to remove the Nvidia graphic driver. Then you should clean your system of the Nvidia Control Panel. This is an option of the DriverCleaner.net program, which is what I used. There are other cleaners out there and if you use one you might report back your success path if you find one. Finally, while still in Safe Mode install the 347.09 version. I recommend not installing GeForce Experience, but it's up to you. Reboot and all should be good.

I had no problems installing the latest Nvidia drivers, installed just fine. The new drivers also fixed the problem I had with SweetFX causing blurry text in game and I noticed other improvements in other games.

I am one who is having big issues with this update.

You're not the only one Lyric. I don't post here about issues like this until I hear of at least 3-4 people with a problem.

They screwed up the 144hz capability with the ROG Swift Asus monitor..AGAIN. I swear, this monitor has to be the worst thing in the history of driver problems - this is the third time now an nVidia up date has caused either 144hz to be lost and 100 max to be the highest refresh rate available, or for Gsync to be greyed out as an option as well - revert back to last version. Again.
Drivers worked fine on my other 144hz monitor, but it isn't 1440p, and is an older model from Asus.

It's not JUST the ROG Swift, either.
The #1 issue from the people I have helped is library components that are not being properly registered. I suspect Norton's, but trying to tell someone their security program is an issue can be frustrating. I'm just curious how many service calls Skuzzy gets off of these issues.

You're not supposed to update working drivers unless you have a specific issue that needs fixing. Especially with Nvidias history of releasing bad drivers. So if you choose to behave risky and install every update the second they're released you may end up having unnecessary problems. New drivers do not always even improve your performance there may be regressions especially on older card models.

Old driver sucked with AHII making it difficult to play with the release of this new update.
Chalenge helped me over the phone & new update is in & working now.
As Chalenge had said it is an issue with the installer.

Please leave all personal issues at the door. This forum is about providing or gathering information about hardware and/or software. If you are not doing one of those two things, you are doing something wrong and it is not helping others.

I had no problems with this driver, and I didn't do anything special either. Just ran the executable. I will add though that I only install the base driver and the PhysX driver, and that's it. No audio, no GeForce Experience, or any of the other parts. It worked perfectly on both my primary system with a 980 and my secondary system with a 750Ti. I have not updated my HTPC with a GT 630 in it, as that computer gets updated drivers much less frequently, since there's no benefit to it. That one does get the audio driver though.
/facepalm - this was my leet post. Lame.

Im of the if it aint broke dont fix it variety.
The only time I use new drivers is if I am having issues with the old or I am installing an entirely new component.
Other then that. If I have no complaints. I dont mess with it.

I mostly do the same. Sometimes, though the new drivers will have additional settings within the Nvidia Control Panel.

You should always check the release notes. As I said before, the current release has a number of fixes for some issues (admittedly you may not suffer from them) and acts as the first release of a new revision series. Of course, if you are using the 2## or previous series your card is no longer supported. Windows updates occasionally make changes that cause issues with previous driver releases and new drivers are released to correct the situation.
