Correct way to update video drivers
Hi,
I have some Flight Sim software which throws up an error after loading on my new PC and will not run with an NVIDIA Geforce 7900GT card. Have downloaded the what I think is the latest driver '94.24 Forceware' for XP in the hope that it will cure my problem. What is the correct procedure for un-installing old/re-installing new drivers on XP Home please? Worked fine on my old PC with an ATI card. Thanks. Griff. |

What is the correct procedure for un-installing old/re-installing new drivers on XP Home please? What I do is.. 1. Uninstall drivers in add/remove 2. Reboot in safe mode and run driver cleaner pro (removes other files not completely removed with the uninstall 3. Run driver cleaner pro cab files for all other drivers (ie. even if you have nvidia, winxp still has some ati, soundmax, etc files that you may never installed) 4. Reboot in normal mode 5. Install new driver and reboot |
