What am I missing?

I downloaded the latest driver to my desktop, went to set up. the NVIDIA windows 2000/XP display drivers screen comes up. goes to "installing components" , gets about halfway through. Then a window comes up that says The file 'nv4.mini.sys" on NVIDIA Windows 2000/XP Driver Librarey Installation disk 1 is needed. I can type ok (which does nothing) or cancel... do I actually put in the original driver CD to proceed or am I not downloading the file right? thanks

Try uninstalling the drivers first. Then install again.
