    Yes, here is the ultimate resolution for not being able to install nvidia video drivers
    after getting an error "the parameter is incorrect" or the wizard keeps asking you
    to reinstall the driver.
    This applies to:
    Geforce
    TNT
    Any other nvidia card you can think of...

    You may also have problems with a constant exclamation mark infront of your
    display adapter icon in the Device Manager. Other symptoms may include:
    Code 10 device not properly configured

    Open the registry editor: regedit
    navigate to the key..

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NvTweak

    Now right click on the key (looks like a little folder) NVTweak, go to permissions...
    Tick the allow box for administrator, hit okay.
    Now delete the NvTweak key and you should be able to install your graphics driver without
    any problems! :)

    I have used nvidia cards for years and never had this problem but will write in it down case it helps.
