Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU)
The Display-drivers uninstaller is exactly what it say's it is. Using this handy app you can remove all previous versions of your display driver whether it be AMD or Nvidia:

What it does is removing the Display driver from device manager and removing the current and all precedent driver from the Windows Driver store along with removing services from NVIDIA/AMD.

The current effect after you use this tool will be similar as if Windows was in a "Fresh Install" state.

This tool act similar to what Driver sweeper do + the extra mentioned above.

If you have problem installing older driver or newer one, give it a try as there are some reports that it fix those problems.

RECOMMENDED USAGE :

-The tool can be used in Normal mode but for abolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best.
Windows XP up to 8.1 is supported X86/X64 (not sure for WinXP x64)
