Driver Setup Routine Error

1.) The Nvidia nForce Driver setup routine doesn't start or only runs fragmented.
If any interruption to the set up routine takes place the black Nvidia Window
will close soon after starting setup.
2.) You will only partially notice that the setup routine has run fragmented in so far
as files can't be found or necessary Windows components are not found.


Cause of error:
You will often acertain an error in combination with older Realtek audio drivers.
Solution: Remove the Realtek audio driver, preferably completely using a software
tool like
Driver Cleaner [Link]
Afterwards try to start the Nvidia nForce Setup again.

Partially successful as help is when you start and run the Nvidia nForce setup in
Windows 98 compatible mode.
Definitely helpful is: When you manually integrate all of the drivers.
See the "FAQ List" on the Driver page to see how to do this.

Cause of error:
The Nvidia nForce Driver installation runs fragmented. See error messages No. 2
Informing that Windows files can't be found.
This error should only arise with the nForce Audio Driver.
The cause is usually an old Direct X or Direct X package with errors.
Solution: Repeat the Windows Direct X installation or upgrade to the most recent
version.
The nForce Audio Driver requires Direct X components in order to function correctly.

(Note!) Caution: This error solution only applies if you have received error messages
stating that files couldn't be found.
It has nothing to do with the error of unrecognised Hardware in the Device Manager,
after you have run the nForce Setup Driver routine.
This error is described [
here] and has a different solution. This problem is also listed
in the FAQ.
