Try using the nvidia reg cleaner or whatever app they have to totally uninstall the old ones. Remember, you should uninstall them in safe mode. Then delete the folder it puts on the C drive if it does like ATI.

Your GF/X card not supported by the 78.01 ? Try the 78.03 (nVidia Beta link)

Because the installer for the new version automatically uninstalls the old version like nvidia drivers have done since the detonater series came out. :P
