Win 7 x64 & drivers

[PorPorMe]

I was using Windows update drivers and wanted to switch to win 7 x64 Cuda drivers. I used Drivesweeper but I can't get the drivers to install-even the on thats on disk-I called tech support and got sorry we don't support Win 7.
When the drivers won't install, I get a pop-up saying something to the effect that it can't find ant drivers to support my hardware and install will abort. Any ideas?

If you just install the Windows 7 Geforce drivers v185.85, Cuda is installed with it Mike!
So you don't have to try & install just the Cuda drivers as it's included in the package already.

It's not the drivers per say- It's DriveSweeper-It's not clearing out the C:\Nvidia folder. I don't have enough knowledge to poke around in the registry but I bet it hasn't done it's job there too.
Now I run DriveSweeper and then go delete the Nvidia file manually-it seems to work, no problems now. I can change drivers as I choose.

For Nvidia driver removal I use DH DriverCleaner.Net v3
& it works perfectly with any & all builds of Windows 7.
Sees & deletes all of the files & registry values written by Nvidia..

I know you like DriveSweeper, but for Nvidia driver cleaning you'd be better off with what I use as it's Made for it!
