it reinstalls the old driver again, is there a way of stopping this cycle from happening. The old graphic card is nvidia and the new one is ATI redeon 9800se 128mb.

are you running the driver installation from a cd/dvd,as if you are you need to remove the disc before you restart the p.c
however if you are doing the installation from a downloaded file,dont,burn the file to a disc and then delete the file
you also need to clean any old nvidia files and folders that remain on your p.c,there is a excellent program that does just this job,go to http://www.drivercleaner.net/,and download "driver cleaner",install this program and then use the application to scan for any old and invalid nvidia files and folders,this will stop any conflicts occuring during installation
be sure you read the "read me" file before you use this program so you are fully aware what you are doing
then using the disc you created install the a.t.i drivers(be sure you install .net framework before you install the ati drivers,you can get this from http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/default.aspx)
as soon as the driver and catylyst control center has been installed remove your disc and then restart the p.c
note: once the p.c restarts the screen will flicker and maybe go black for a few seconds,this is normal as the display drivers are configuring the display
any problems let me know
good luck

you do not go with to do any of that...even if it differs motherboard through motherboard, heres what you many times do... *turn off computer* a million. eliminate the former video card 2. Plug interior the recent video card *change on computer* (pictures will be uneven) 3. receive drivers (from significant website, no longer from CD, ideally) 4. achieved to position in lower back the former video card, *turn off computer* a million. Take out new one 2. put in previous one *change on computer* Drivers do not uninstall themselves even as hardware isn't there for use. besides, some older motherboards may no longer instantly away use a video card that do not have drivers, yet i'm keen to guess this can artwork...

you shouldn't need to uninstall the old drivers, this would only be necessary if it was causing problems of some sort.
If the nvidia graphics card is one integrated into the motherboard then it will always reinstall the driver.
So long as it is recognising the new card and there is no problems I would't worry

uninstall the drivers then turn off the PC then take your old card out if its an on board card you have to disable it in the bios you will need your motherboard 's hand book for this
then put the new card in when you start your PC it will say building a driver data base then ask for your driver disc to complete the process

There should be no need to uninstall the old drivers. If you are putting in a second video card, you will still need the old ones. If you are replacing the existing card, just follow the manufacturers instructions for upgrading the drivers.

yeah you dont have to uninstall the old drivers, just install everything needed for the new card and thats it, you can always go back and uninstall the old drivers if u really want to.

uninstall the old card then shut down and then remove the power cord and let it completely die down and then insert the new one and reboot .
another thing if software came with your old card remove the program also and then check your program files to make sure its gone another way to make sure its gone is click on your search and look for the name of the card it still could could have some data inside causing it to reinstall.
