Sometimes a driver un/new installing leaves leftover parts of the old driver.
It exist tools to uninstall nvidia drivers and clean the system afterwards, here is one of them:

You don´t need cuda toolkit on windows, only on osx and linux, but this is not the error reason.

May it helps, mib

Just a trick : Windows 7 pro x64 refuses to install Nvidia drivers if it "thinks" that the currently installed driver is optimal, if you use the update driver feature in the peripherals manager.

So, always install Nvidia drivers by executing the exe file directly.
