Weird Driver Installation Problem

[Mr. Miyagi]

I am having a problem with installing the Nvidia 175.16 Drivers. I just uninstalled my old ones, booted into Safe Mode, ran DriverCleaner and rebooted to Windows XP. Now every time I try to install the driver, it says that Windows installer is running and I need to close it before I continue. Well, no Windows installer is running as I cancelled out of the installation and nothing is there. I have waited for 15 minutes to make sure everything was finished but apparently I still receive the same error. Any ideas?

run msconfig and startup in diagnostic mode or with all non-microsoft processes off, see if that fixes the problem
