OK, not sure what kind of graphics card you actually have but, nvidia doesn't have an 8100 series graphics card anywhere on their web site. They DO have an 8800 series card which is one of their latest. If that is the card that you have, make sure you download the latest drivers from their website. You can get the driver for the 8800 here:

Make sure you download, and use this, before trying to install the driver again: http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=745 Your problem most likely is the fact that you can't install a driver "on top" of another driver, even if it's the same driver.
