Yes! Thank you for answering. As another update, after the steps taken here when i tried to open my nvidia control panel, it told me that i had "no nvidia device detected". So i tried to system restore prior to doing all of those steps, but after some time taken for it it said the files weren't changed because it couldn't restore for some reason. I fixed the control panel issue by just reinstalling the same newer driver again but i thought that information about the failed restore might be important. I don't think that reversed any of the steps though based on what it told me.
