Weird Problem

[jaygatsby9]

Even though the installer for the newest Nvidia driver didn't work, I managed to install the newest Nvidia drivers via Device Manager (I have a GTX 480, Win 7, 32-bit). Then in 3 different games, Fallout NV, Mass Effect 2 and Assasin's Creed 2, the main characters could barely run and when they walked, they would periodically stop in their tracks, and then keep going, and stop and go, etc. I reverted back to 275.33, but I'm still having the same issue. I ran the Heaven benchmark and got FPS 49.1 and 1236 as a Score, which was actually higher than previous runs I've done.
Does anyone have any idea what I can do? I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, driver sweeper, etc. and I'm still having the same problem. I never had the problem until I tried updating.
Thanks in advance.

Strange. I've never had a problem with an Nvidia driver update. Have you kept your system clean? Run CCleaner or something similar?

Did you get the correct 32 bit drivers?

Thanks for your replies. After installing, reinstalling etc. numerous times, I did some more research and discovered that the problem was keyboard related. I switched the keybord into a different USB port, and problem solved.
