Unable to install drivers

CurrentlyLoading · Dec 21, 2019

Hello,
For the past 2-3 weeks, I have been having a lot of trouble with installing drivers. Specifically, a NVIDIA graphics card driver, and Corsair drivers. I previously had these drivers, but accidentally removed them while trying to configure another device.

If someone could give me some advice on how to fix this problem, I would greatly appreciate it. Attached is the zip file with the C:\Windows\system32\config\DRIVERS file in it.

System Specs:
Processor: Intel Core i5-6400 CPU @ 2.70 GHz
8 Gb ram
NVIDIA Ge-Force 1500ti
WINDOWS 10 Home

Please do the following:

Step 1 - Replace Drivers Hive Manually

Warning: this fix is specific to the user in this thread. No one else should follow these instructions as it may cause more harm than good. If you are after assistance, please start a thread of your own.

Download DRIVERS.ZIP and save to your desktop.
Right-click on it and select Extract all.... Make sure the "Show extracted files when complete" is checked and click Extract.
Now we have the DRIVERS file that we will be using to replace your current one.
Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\config
Right-click on the current DRIVERS file and select rename. Rename it to DRIVERS.bad.
Note: If you get an error that the file is in use, reboot your computer and then try again.
Take the file from the Drivers folder on your desktop and paste it into C:\Windows\System32\config

Alright, I've copied the file into C:\Windows\System32\config. Do I delete the file from my desktop as well?
