September 13, 200421 yr Hi,reading the Water post made me think... some time ago I replaced my Geforce 3 with ATI 9600XT. I've been happy ever after, although there are some stutters now and then and slow texture drawing at times.So, how do I go with removing old nVidia graphic card drivers leftovers when I have an nforce 2 motherboard? I tried to use the cleaner but never ran it because I was afraid that it would delete nVidia's files without differentiating between graphic card drivers and the others.EDIT: Greg, if you read this, I DID get that monster cooler at last and temps dropped from 65-70 Celsius to 39!! :)Thanks! :)Regards,Jurehttp://www.globecargo.org/images/VAA_Captain.jpg
September 13, 200421 yr I use the latest version of Driver Cleaner (3.2, I think) and that allows the menu option of choosing Nforce chipset drvers, or Nvidia card, or even NVidia WDM as separate selections.I've never had any trouble, and I use DC3.2 to clean Nvidia card drivers about three times a month, Nforce drivers about once a month, and Creative and AC97 soundcard drivers about four times a week (I test a lot of soundcard drivers!)As long as you follow the instructions you shouldn't have any trouble, and even if you do you can still rollback to the previous drivers UNLESS you've run the .cab cleaner. Just run System Restore before you start cleaning and set a Restore point. For total safety just make sure you have your chipset drivers to hand in case of any problems - WinXP will still boot with default drivers, but they are the only ones you MUST have to install everything else - all the other drivers can just be reinstalled.Hope this helps.Allcott
