View Full Version : Graphic Cards
Nobleman Fri, 1st Nov '02, 1:34pm Yep. I sold my old Asus. Bought a new graphic card... But Bugger! I forgot to uninstall my Asus display drivers. Now they won't go away in add/remove programs. And my new NVIDIA graphic card won't cooporate with two active 3D drivers. I hope to draw on the divine wisdom of the boards. :)
Edit; I am on that ancient windows 98 2nd edition.

Intentioner of the Damned Fri, 1st Nov '02, 1:38pm Reformat. That normally solves most problems (but can be a real pain in the preverbial if you've got loads of stuff you wanna keep) :)
Ark Fri, 1st Nov '02, 2:07pm If you have another hard disk, get all the stuff you want in there then reformat the primary drive.

Nobleman Fri, 1st Nov '02, 2:33pm I love the simplicity of that plan. If you were a woman Ark, I would kiss you.
I am transfering files at this very moment.
Yerril Fri, 1st Nov '02, 2:45pm Why does he have to be a woman? Aren't you 100% confident in your sexuality, Nobby?
:p ;)
ejsmith Fri, 1st Nov '02, 10:08pm Rule #8:
The easy way is always mined.
Rule #11:
When in doubt, empty the clip.
(best rules to administer Windows by...)
Thorin Fri, 1st Nov '02, 10:14pm Did you try to rin windows in safe mode, and deleted the drivers from there?
Or unistalling the current video drivers, then when windows loaded uninstalled the old ones.
Reformat is just a big pain

Ark Sat, 2nd Nov '02, 6:31am Why is it a big pain.I never have problems with that way.
Thorin Sat, 2nd Nov '02, 7:20am Personally if I can fix a hardware issue just by uninstalling a few drivers I will, It takes less time then reinstalling my os, drivers, programs, patches, etc
Nobleman Sat, 2nd Nov '02, 9:23am The problem with the asus driver was that it couldn't be uninstalled when the asus graphics card wasn't in. Lame programming.
Nevermind, after putting in my windows CD to reboot and formatting drive C, it suddenly worked. Heh. It didn't like beeing threatened.
EDIT; PS. Sir Yerril, I have heard that kissing men is, Almost, but entirely unlike kissing women. Or was that tea. crips. I always forget.
