Ok im finally upgrading to a decent card

ATI Radeon 8500
Lol whats the odds of a poor student like me owning to one of these cards.

I wanna knw whts the best way to remove any NVIDIA related driver/dll etc etc files. I cant use Det Destroyer as it gives me this BS error.

Iv Uninstall it thru the Add/Remove in Control panel but still find fills in the system32 folder roaming around, might be files in other folders to.

So yah could u please tell me how to remove any existing NVIDIA junk out of my PC, cant be bothered Formating

I just always uninstall the "Program" NVIDIA 2000/XP Drivers in Add/Remove programs, never had issues yet.

Good purchase buy the way, very good :)

asan.. this is about drivers.. guess what.. we have a drivers forum... let's see if you can add 2 and 2 *irritated*

Do as SS says, then if you are on a 2k box use the add/remove hardware wizard, showing hidden devices and remove all instances of nvidia devices. You cant do this on xp however...

Then download and install regcleaner and give it a run through, you'll come away with most of your nvidia stuff gone and a tidier registry.

Dont worry about anything that's left over.. its harmless.
