Vista NVIDIA Graphics Driver problem

I'm using Vista Home Basic

It keeps showing the messge about the driver problem like this

The following troubleshooting steps might prevent the problem from recurring.

1. Download and install an updated version of NVIDIA Graphics Driver from
one of the following locations:
Microsoft Update
NVIDIA Corporation

2. If an updated driver is not available for NVIDIA Graphics Driver, check
with your computer manufacturer.

3. If you are running the latest version of NVIDIA Graphics Driver, contact
NVIDIA Corporation for your support options

I followed the directions, I went to the NVIDIA website, then it gave me the
download plug-in srlproxy.dll.gz in rar file.
After unrar file, i dont know what to do next, if anybody know what happened
to my computer please help.

BTW my English is not good, i dont know if i posted at the right place or
not, so if it's wrong please move it to the right topic box, so someone can
help

Thank you

I'm not sure why you downloaded that file. This is not the form that drivers
come in. If you have a generic/home-built machine, go to www.nvidia.com and
click on the "Download Drivers" link in the upper left corner of the
screen. Use the drop-down arrows in Option 1 to select the correct video
card, model, and Vista 32-bit. Click the "Search" button. Click in the box
to agree to Nvidia's terms and conditions and then click the "Download Now"
button. You'll get a box to save the file - save it somewhere you will find
it, like your Downloads folder. The file name will be something like:

169.25_forceware_winvista_32bit_english_whql.exe

If you already have Nvidia drivers installed, uninstall them from Programs &
Features first. Then double-click on the .exe file you downloaded to
install the drivers.

If you have an OEM machine (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.) you should not be getting
drivers from Nvidia. You should get the drivers for your specific model
computer from the computer mftr.'s tech support website.

You should never install drivers from Windows Update because they tend to
cause a lot of problems.

If you aren't sure what video card you have:

1. Read any documentation you got when you bought the computer.
2. If the computer is OEM, go to the OEM's website for your specific model
machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers anyway)
3. Download, install and run a free system inventory program like Belarc
Advisor or System Information for Windows.
