rule #1 dont install microsoft drivers, they are retarded for some reason

goto nvidia's website and get the latest drivers from there, basicly whats happening is MS overwrote some nvidia stuff, somewhere

and the only reasonable solution is to clean out your old drivers and re install fresh with the latest n greatest
