Nvidia drivers not working, error code 39

Hello, so I have been trying to install some drivers for my Nvidia gtx 230, I have gone to the Nvidia website and downloaded the driver installer. After trying a few different versions I finally got one that would install. So it installled and I restarted my pc, but when I go into the device manager the device still has an error.

The error message is:

Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

A view to a section specifies a protection which is incompatible with the initial view's protection.

I have searched all over the internet and cannot seem to find anyone with the same issue!! After looking at other related posts relating to error code 39. I have tried fixes like reinstalling, editing the registry. But those don't help. Judging by the fact that I could not see anyone with this same issue, I assume that it is a bit rare. Do you have any tips that could help me fix my problem?

Hi Charlie,

Completely remove the current Nvidia device driver using the widely available free DDU utility, then restart your PC and go to the support page for your PC on the manufacturer's website to download and install their recommended version of the Nvidia device driver.

    Hi Dave,

    I have installed the latest chipset drivers but the issues remains the same. I tried a few different drivers and also pressed the "Search automatically for drivers" button. But none of these are working

    Hi Charlie,

    Below is the support page for your motherboard, is the latest version of chipset drivers and BIOS installed on your PC?

    https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B560M-PRO-VDH-W...

    If not, please install them, and then try installing the Nvidia device driver again 9maybe a version that is a month or two old).
