Hey, no prob; thanks! I got it it back to where it was through Windows Recovery. That Bill Gates is a great guy! LOL

Also, my experience needn't be universal -- everyone's system is set up a little differently (or a LOT differently) and likely someone else will have no difficulty whatsoever.

Like most here, I've uninstalled and reinstalled Nvidia drivers a gazillion times before without a hitch. Before I uninstall a current driver I try to remember to set up a Recovery Point first. Then I reboot and hit F8 during the reboot in order to select "Safe Mode". I believe this switches the video driver from the Nvidia one I'm about to uninstall with the generic Windows 7 video driver. Once I've done a Safe Reboot, I go to Control Panel, Hardware Uninstall, select Nvidia graphic driver and double click. I also uninstall all the associated Nvidia files clustered around it. Upon doing a further reboot, I then navigate to the freshly downloaded new beta driver .exe file and double click on it. What normally follows is a new installation - it takes a little while but usually is a smooth process. Guess last night was not my night!
