Configuration Registry Database Corrupt - Nvidia Drivers

[jason1974]

Hello!

I'm trying to update my nvidia drivers I done a clean install, however the installation failed and trying to manually install them using the device manager method I get a error of "Configuration Registry Database Corrupt". Would anybody be able to help me please? I understand from reading threads on here that it's down to a corrupt registry?

I attached the drivers.zip I think I did it right... thank you

Hi Welcome to Sysnative,

1. Download the attached DRIVERS-fixed.ZIP and save it to your Desktop.
