I accidentally uninstalled the nvidia chipset drivers while removing the display drivers using driver cleaner(I updated bios\drivers for 8800GT). Can someone help me get them back? I haven't noticed a problem with the system yet but I presume I was not supposed to remove the chipset drivers. I'm not even exactly sure what the chipset drivers are. Here's what was cleaned:

umm what type of pc? have to reinstall the chipset, can try the rollback option
 
Try using the windows restore feature. If that doesn't work, just reload the nvidia drivers from the motherboard/PC makers site or the driver disk. To verify the fix, go to the device manager and check your hardware. You can get to device manager by right clicking My Computer and selecting "manage". Click device manager and make sure no question or exclamation points are present.

Yes. It would be like you wanted to remove and reeinstall your motherboard drivers. Just be sure to install your motherboard driver set.

Good luck!
 
I reinstalled the motherboard chipset and driver cleaner did not detect the new files, nor did device manager see any problems before\after or any additions. So I just did a windows restore and it seemed to put the drivers back, as now driver cleaner is showing the nvidia chipset. Hopefully everything is in working order now.

Interestingly, after the windows restore, my default firefox search bar is now aol instead of google. :confused:

Oh well, thanks for the help guys.

That is not an nVidia chipset motherboard; it's an Intel chipset. So, removing nVidia chipset drivers would have had no effect, since they were not being used.

Did you at some point upgrade your motherboard without reinstalling Windows?
