NVIDIA DRIVER UNINSTALL PROCEDURE
#1

Hi all,

I'm an old ATI guy and had the process of uninstalling and re-installing the ATI video drivers down pat. Now, with a new rig and NVIDIA card (8800GT), I'm seeing a few different windows that are causing a little confusion.

If I may, I will list the steps I think are correct (with a couple of screen shots). Please step in and correct me or offer some advice. It would be greatly appreciated.

OK ...

1. Unplug computer from Internet.

2. Go to ADD/REMOVE Programs and uninstall the NVIDIA drivers. However, when I do this I first get the following window with these selections. I would assume the one I pick is highlighted? Yes / No?

3. Turn off all Anti-Virus Protection and then reboot into Safe Mode.

4. Let the computer do it's thing but don't install any new drivers yet. Cancel any operations or windows that appear.

5. I use the DRIVER CLEANER program. Open it and get rid of the NVIDIA files. This is my second question. I see the below choices. Which one(s) do I clean? Just the Control Panel or all those NVIDIA choices that show?

6. Empty Recycle BIn and Reboot.

7. Install new drivers.

8. Reboot again.


I would appreciate any advice and confirm my choice are correct in the attachments above. I know on my machine I have an NVIDIA Bus Enumerator so I have to be careful I don't get rid of that or I'll whack my internet capabilities :?
