So, a while back I ripped apart my old computer (which the government bought for me way back when), as it'd stopped working a fair while ago, and I'd got a new one, and it still had useful stuff in it.
The main thing I grabbed was a hard disk. For a while I used it, and it was good. Then it stopped working, with a clicking sound when it tried to work. Annoyingly I lost some music on there, but managed to put most of that back together from various sources. However, I'd also installed various other things on there. And now certain things on my computer are going "Invallid Drive F:" or similar, when I try and do things.
One of the things that it seems must've been on there was the PhysX software that various games use. Hard disk no longer working thus, not accessible there. However, every time I try and install PhysX on my actual core hard drive, it says "Error 1327, Invalid Drive F:/". I'm assuming it's trying to update the old version, but failing due to it not being there. And it's not giving me the option to perform a new install or something like that.
I tried the "Driver Sweeper" program that someone suggested, but that's not changed anything.
For reference, the two games I believe it to be affecting are Overlord II (installed through steam) which downloads fine, but crashes when I try and load it, and borderlands (installed from a disk) which crashes at the end of the install process.
So, wise and mighty intertubes, can anyone suggest how I might be able to fix this, and partake of my sweet, sweet, gaming goodness?
