This is an elementary question but I just need to double check my methodology. I have a system running an ASUS P3B-F, ASUS GeForce Pro 64mb with Windows 2000 SP-2. I am running the same video card driver that I loaded the system up with, the Nvidia 7.54, and would like to move to a newer Nvidia driver. I have read here of sporadic problems with the 23.11 version so have chosen to go with the 21.83's.
What I want to know is how exactly to do this? Back in my Windows 98 days I woulds switch over to a "Standard VGA" driver and then take the time to manually clean out all files of the old driver before loading up the new one. I don't think that I need to do this with Win2k. Instead I was going to make a copy of my current Hardware Profile, boot up on the copy, and then install the new driver on the copy profile. If I had any strange problems or anonomalies I would be able to reboot and revert back to my original, known good Hardware Profile containing my old video driver. Do I need to go to this trouble? Do Win2K Hardware Profiles even have anything to do with hardware drivers?
Give me your thoughts.
