Delete current NVidia driver before updating?
Hey video driver experts/victims. What have you had the most success with regarding upgrading NVidia drivers...specifically the Go5650? Is it best to delete the existing driver first through Add/Remove Programs? And if so should you delete both the
NVidia Drivers and the
NVidia Windows 2000/XP Display Drivers entries? The instructions on LaptonVideo2go indicate that it is only necessary to delete the latter entry. What do you think?
Thanks,
I guess it's personal prefrence altho i prefer to uninstall and also use a driver cleaner it takes a whole 3 minutes longer . I guess it's just a extra step for a better install and dosn't leave a door open for potential problems personally i do think it matters but that's just my opinion. good luck
