OT: Installing new Nvidia Drivers

I would like to install the new drivers for my GF3. What is the proper procedure to uninstall and install the new drivers? What is the best program to use to get rid of the old drivers first? Could someone tell me the procedure or point me in the proper direction Vic

Roll back driver, reboot, install new driver. I'm currently using 40.72 and used "Detonator 40.41 Fix" to clear remaining 30.** driver once installed and works fine.

If you have WinXP then skip detonator destroyer since it's not compatible. -- Joe M.

There is a shareware program called "Detonator Destroyer." Essentially, (1) You uninstall what you can (video card driver related ;-) )from the control panel (2) set your display adapter to Standard VGA and reboot (dont install any drivers for the card on reboot). Keep it standard VGA driver (3) you run detonator destroyer and reboot (dont install any drivers for the card on reboot). Keep it standard VGA driver (4) install the new drivers you have already downloaded from NVidia hth, jeff Vic Greenwood <[email hidden]> wrote in News:[email hidden]:

Like he said, it's not compatible. It's for 9x OS's only. -Larry "Bamadano" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > >If you have WinXP then skip detonator destroyer since it's notcompatible. > > hmm..worked for me with WinXP home.
