Note: The driver presents game screenshots while the driver is installing. If you are not connected to the internet during the installation, you may see a "Navigation to the webpage was cancelled" message instead. The message can be ignored and does not affect the installation. The message wont appear if the browser cache is cleared.
Note: The NVIDIA PhysX System Software will not be included in the installation if the same version or a later version is already installed.
Note: After the driver installation, Windows may default to 16-bpp color and disable the Desktop Window Manager (DWM). To work around this issue, set the color to 32-bpp and then reboot the PC.
