    I uninstalled both video/PhysX drivers and cleaned in safe mode but im getting a strange error when trying to install the new PhysX drivers which are included in the new 310.64 BETA drivers. Of course it fails to install under the Nvidia install option. So when i go to manually install the new PhysX drivers it gives me this error "The older version of NVIDIA PhysX cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group." I have never had this happen before. But if i roll back to the older driver and physx it installs fine? I don't get it. Any help would be appreciated.

    this fixed it: Reinstall driver 306.97 then uninstall from add/remove programs. Install driver 310.64, select custom install, check mark perform a clean installation then proceed with the installation.

    Tried running driver cleaner and ccleaner in safe mode?
    Tried reinstalling the original PhysX version that caused the problem and removing it through Cpanel?
