Default Help with uninstall after Windows Update - 04-30-2012, 06:17 | posts: 4

Helo,
I've an older nForce motherboard and an 8600GT. I'd had various
black screens ( browsing the net, and occasionally just navigating
around the desktop, etc,etc) that I decided to reinstall the whole
thing, chipset and video. I did the uninstall; Windows Vista did it's
load of it's default drivers + Standard VGA.

Noticed that WindowsUpdate was offering to install drivers for the above,
and this time, I decided to try it, curious as to what it would actually
load. It ran through it's install, I rebooted , and every thing seems OK
(I still get the dropped frames in youtube video's - even low res,
but that's another story)

It installed the 295 WHQL driver, nForce SATA, smbus and ethernet -
everything working good (no more black screens)
Here's the problem - the Nvidia add/remove items in "programs and features"
are missing, except for ethernet driver.
Secondly, what about physx, Nvidia update, the 3d components -
I'm not sure whether they are even installed. I don't like to leave it like this,
I'd like to clear it up. It's not urgent, because it's otherwise working.

If anybody has some advice on how to get it back to a "clean" uninstall
situation I'd appreciate it.

It installed 296.10whql.
