I just replaced an XFX Extreme 8800gt 512 that overheated because my water pump went bad. I eliminated the water cooling and went with air, and replaced the video card with an EVGA 8800GTS 512. So I uninstalled the drivers and restarted in low res mode with Vista 64. When I start up it installs a driver automatically. Then forces me to restart. So then I try to install the new drivers I have downloaded and it start it then says I have the wrong uninstaller? the uninstaller for vista 32? Any help will be much appreciated.

I do have the right driver I think, http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x64_182.50_whql.html. I tried uninstalling it from device manager, it does it no problem but then says I must restart. When system restarts there is a little icon in the task bar saying it is trying to install needed drivers, and it installs an older driver. So I try installing the driver I have downloaded and that when I get the problem.

ok you can disable it from device manager follow as per last post but choose disable instead of uninstall and see if you can install the new one
