Old Drivers Uninstall

[Sam Higgins]

I have read on a few post about uninstalling old drivers before installing
new ones. Let's say I have this G4 Ti4200 I am going to retire for an ATI
card. I know I can uninstall the Nvidia drivers from the add/remove control
panel in Windows, but is that good enough? Is there still old file residue
handing around? Or is this something I shouldn't even be worried about? My
main question is, is add/remove in Windows good enough? Thanks.

Use either Detonator R.I.P. or Detonator Destroyer to be sure. DD is not
supported for XP/2000, but DRIP requires .NET

If you have Detonator 30.xx drivers, you may also want to consider Detonator
30.xx To 40.xx Fix

That should be enough. After you do the un install do a search for nv*.*
Remove what ever come up. I just did exactly that (I also had a 4200) just
last week and add/remove removed it all. Have fun with your new card! JLC

Uhmm, yeah, install the crap for .NET, to run a program to remove old
drivers and stuff, that makes sense.

Thanks JLC, ain't got it yet, but planning ahead. (-; According to tracking
it is floating around in my state now. So maybe today. If so, I feel like I
am getting too sick to go to work tomorrow. *cough*
