Windows Vista Removing old Nvidia drivers

[philwhite]

As the title says. I recently had to fit a new card as my old one had died. I had a 9800GX2 but now have a GTX295 installed.
I had real trouble removing the old drivers and installing the new and ended up doing it in safe mode.
My 9800GX2 is still under warranty so will do as a spare if ever i need one.

Anyone else out there had this kind of trouble also??

Thanks.

Hi Phil,
long time no see...

This little app is handy: Link Removed

Another very good read with many tips on installation and removal is this:

Hi kemical, i have not posted for a while although i do still read postings on a regular basis.
I am unsure whether to get Windows 7 as yet to be honest as it will be the usual chore of a fresh install. I have just updated the firmware of my LG GGW-H20L DVD drive too.

The GTX295 is a nice card although it does lack the HDMI port that the 9800GX2 had but a dongle is supplied so i can still use my HDMI cable.

I got the Zotac ZT-295E3MB-FSP GTX295 which seems to be a good card, it shares 3199mb of system memory like the 9800GX2 did for some strange reason, why is that i wonder???

Hey Phil,
yup I've seen you flit from here to there... As for the memory usage are you sure it's not the pagefile that's being used? As that would stay the same regardless of what card you put in...
