FIXED

In my infinite wisdom, I did not uninstall my nvidia drivers from XP before I removed and sold my 6600GT. Now when I plug in my 6800 Ultra or my old FX5600, I get instant BSOD in windows, even in safe mode and VGA mode. How can I fix this without an OS re-install? Can it be done throught the recovery console? If so, how?

I'm dying!

Even in safe mode? Something else is up, then. What message do you get on the BSOD?

Even in safe mode. The BSOD is too quick before the system reboots, so I can't read it.

The registry swap has been posted countless times here; basically you swap sam system software security files in c:\windows\repair with the one in c:\windows\system32\config (making a backup of what's in there first) which lets you boot, and then you can change files around at will.

Fixed it. Thanks for the replies!
