So, I've uninstalled, used DriverCleaner, found this rig will NOT boot into Safe Mode (it resets without a video driver installed!), shut down the antivirus stuff, had ZAP lock out the internet...and installed the 77.76 again. Instead of merging the Coolbits2, I've now got NVTweak 1.71 and used it instead. Got it all now! Thanks for reminding me to look in the first place, DOH! I haven't had a corrupted driver install in a couple years, but nobody is immune! McG.
