A new wrinkle?

Other than all the bad things I'm reading about Nvidia 190 series drivers, l think my card's OK.

If you can find that gauge in the back up folder, change the extension from .gau to .gau.bak  and then try the install. If it works, change the extension back and it will be the same as before.

Usually when I encounter a problem like this on an install it works, sometimes it doesn't. I figured it can't hurt to try. It may just find something else it doesn't like and give a similar message. :-/

Hoping for the best though. ;)

Your solution is a good one. What I meant is that I doubt the backed-up gauge is the cause of the problem. If that were the case I would have run into installation problems myself.

Maybe a registry issue then?  :-?

This is definitely a strange one.  What OS are you using Olderndirt?

Certainly strange. Can't say I've seen this particular problem mentioned before. It might better for olderndirt to try your suggestion of renaming the gauge first.

The gauge problem seems to be resolved - don't ask me how
