nvidia kernel mode driver not responding and has recovered

I keep getting 'nvidia kernel mode driver not responding" when running the
3d batch assessments. I am using a Nvidia gt 220 with the newest drivers in
Win 7 64. Any suggestions?

John,
Has this issue always been present?
(If the answer is no, think of all the changes you did when it first showed
up).
Did you uninstall previous drivers, boot into "VGA" and then install the
latest ones?
NVidia doesn't recommend installing newer drivers on top of the older ones.

It started after the win 7 64 upgrade from Vista 64. I did uninstall
the drivers first. How can I stop windows from installing the default
drivers, which cause me issues, automatically on restart? Do I have to
install them in safe mode?

John,
Maybe the real issue is that Win 7 is installed "on top" of Vista.
Anyway, go to Device Manager.
Right click on your NVidia adapter entry, click Properties.
Go to the Controller tab and choose uninstall.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.
How do I reinstall? Won't win 7 try to reinstall the default drivers on
restart?. Nvidia 191.07 is problematic. I really want 195.62 which I have in
a downloaded folder

John,
When you uninstall, there is a check box offering you the option of deleting
the driver files.

191.07 driver. This driver is a problem for me and I would like to install
195.62

John,
I have run out of options.
My last suggestion is checking these two specific NVidia forums:
"GeForce drivers"
http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showforum=33
"GeForce graphic cards"
http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showforum=26
