195.62 driver

So I bought a p-7915u fx laptop about a month ago. It ran games just as well as I expected it to. Everything ran smoothly without any problems. Yesterday I downloaded the 195.62 driver for my video card (Nvidia GeForce GTX 260M). All of a sudden everything lags innumerably. Fallout 3 went from running just fine to unimaginably laggy. If drivers are supposed to improve performance, then why is it doing the complete opposite and making everything run worse?

Specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo processor P8700

Nvidia GeForce GTX 260M

320 GB HDD

4GB of Ram

If any other specs you need to know in order to answer this question tell me. I'm pretty new at computers so your help would be very well appreciated. Thanks (=

Just roll back to the old driver. I think Nvidia archives all their drivers.

I have been thinking of it. The big problem here is that they only have previous drivers archived for windows XP and older. I can't seem to find previous drivers for Windows 7 (64-bit).

Did you uninstall the drivers and then use DRIVER CLEANER PRO?

I always select UNINSTALL and then run DRIVER CLEANER PRO, then isntall the new driver after a reset when i want to install a new driver.

Ive also NEVER had any problems with installing new drivers doing it this way.

Driver Cleaner Pro erases all the left over stuff from the previous drivers.

Don't fix something that isn't broken... Nvidia makes a lot of drivers, and unfortunately, some of them are horrible.

Roll back to your old drivers, and be happy with them. You shouldn't update your drivers unless you are having issues with them.

Aiight thanks I'll keep that in mind.
