I tried to load new NVIDIA drivers on my machine and keep failing during the
install. This happens no matter what version video driver I try to install. I
even used Driver Cleaner Pro to ry and make sure all NVIDIA driver data was
removed from my system. So I opened up regedit.exe and started searching for
and deleteding all occurences of the phrase NVIDIA. When I got to a specific
key, thie key would not delete. I could not open the key or change the key'e
permissions. This key was HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation.

What can I do to remove this key? I think this is what is causing my
install to fail.
