... Do you need to remove previous versions? or just install over the top? ATI recommends that you remove the old ones first, and then restart. If Windows prompts you to install new drivers, you cancel it, and then install the new ones. I follow their recommendations in order to avoid conflicts between the older version, and the new one. It's not that much more of a hassle, than to install over top of the previous ones. Henrik |

Just to balance out the replies, I also uninstall and install. ATI, nVidia
and Matrox all recommend this. Look at it this way, even if you can get away without doing it, at the very least you'll clean up old files that aren't used anymore and maybe even some registry entries. It only takes 2 minutes more to do it the way they recommend. Gary -- Tweaks & Reviews www.slottweak.com "Henrik Stavnshøj" wrote in message . .. "shaman" skrev i en meddelelse ...

... Do you need to remove previous versions? or just install over the top? This is what I do (in order)... 1. Uninstall the old control panel (from add/remove programs) 2. Uninstall the old drivers (from add/remove programs) 3. Install the new drivers 4. Install the new control panel Out of paranoia, I generally reboot after each step (which is what should happen anyway when installing the new drivers). |

Extract the files and there is a text file within the directory with the
same name as the *.exe in which the drivers were packed. These have the instructions. "shaman" wrote in message ... Do you need to remove previous versions? or just install over the top? |
