Error Code 80070103

[csb62]

Interesting problem: I have Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit OS and windows update
failed twice at updating my Gforce 7600GS video driver. I got the error code
80070103 each time. SO.... I downloaded the latest driver from Nvidia which
is the 32bit version 191.07(8.16.11.9107) dated 10/5/09 and tried to manually
update the driver. At one point during the install process I get an error
message from the Nvidia installer stating: "Setup detected that the Operating
System in use is not Windows Vista[32bit]/Windows 7[32bit]. The setup program
and it's associated drivers are designed to run only on Windows
Vista[32bit]/Windows 7[32bit]. The installation will be terminated".

Very odd since I'm definitely running 32bit Windows 7 Ultimate and the
driver version windows installed during (full)installation was 8.15.11.8593
dated 5/14/09.

Basically, the 80070103 error means that Plug and Play can't find a
better match than the currently installed drivers.

Although the below is for Vista, see if you can do a manual installation
using these directions on Win7 :

As to the benefits derived from installing the latest driver vs. the one
currently installed ... are there any issues with the display adapter ?
If not and if this were my system ... if it ain't broke ... you know the
rest. <w>

Thanks for the link. I was searching around Nvidia site and hadn't come
across that
article. I'll give it a try.

As for the need to update to the newer driver. There really isn't a pressing
need, but
I alway like to keep my software up to date and usually updating a driver
equates to
better performance. I know this is not always the case, as some drivers can
be buggy,
although I do find that to be a rare occasion with Nvidia's stuff. If the
manual update
doesn't work, I'll leave it be for now. I'm sure as Windows 7 matures,
things like this
will become a thing of the past.

Thanks again for your response
