Hey Guys,

What is the best way to change Video Card driver in Win 2K pro without causing any problems or formatting the HD?

I am trying to upgrade my video card in my computer from Nvidia Geforce2 MX400 to ATI Radeon 8500 LE.

Thanks guys.

first uninstall ALL the nvidia drivers. use Detinator Destroyer. if you are worried. then take teh card out. replace the card. reboot install drivers. should be good to go

I just did this with one of my comps.

Yep, that's basically all there is to it. The basic NVIDIA uninstall is usually enough, but it wont hurt to go all the way.

Add/remove programs and uninstall the nVidia drivers. I dont think Det destroyer works in 2K/XP.
