Can anybody suggest me anything?

My friend has a notebook Amilo Xi 2428. It has GeForce 8600M GS.
He asked me to install all the stuff and make PC working.
I installed Win Vista X86 Ultimate and all of the supported drivers with it.
The last driver i installed was the notebook nvidia driver for 8600M GS.
But it would not install to the last drop - hanged in the middle of install...

I had to restart PC.

After reboot i have got a BSOD!!!
Rebooted again into safe mode.
Dumps showed that some vnxxxx driver caused the problem..

I checked the device manager and everything was fine - it showed nvidia drivers installed and working. However DXDIAG did not show anything!

In add/remove programs the nvidia drivers were just 1 Mb size - i thought WTF.. Obviously bad driver install.. Corrupted or not complete...
So i uninstalled the drivers in safe mode and rebooted to full mode again - BSOD..
Again booted from safe mode and saw that nvidia drivers were still there! Same 1 Mb.
I mean, i uninstalled them before, but after reboot they were there again!!

Now i thought that i should uninstall them in device manager - no luck - after clicking "remove driver", nothing changes in DM...

So basically i can not load Windows on full mode, just in safe mode...
And in safe mode i can not uninstall nvidia drivers, because after reboot they are back! Deleting installation and program folders does not help...

Loading full mode either causes BSOD or black screen...
