Epic fail right there.
You uninstall your current drivers first, reboot, go into Windows, cancel any driver installation attempts, then shut down.
You then swap cards, boot up, install your drivers, and reboot again.
FAIL.
shadowmaniac:
Make sure you cleanly removed any traces of your old card's drivers especially since you're moving towards a competitor's product.
Oh yea, beaten to it by Psyren.

*Shrugs* Never had to do that before.(then again before this i only worked with PCI and AGP cards) Ill tell you what. Ill do a clean install of XP right now. If it works after that ill bow down and post "I'm stimulated by nvidia in a way you cant show on TV" (and given that im an ATI fanboy ill be mildly unhappy in doing it). But i doubt it will work.

It's common sense to un-install something before installing a new version of something whether it's programs or drivers. Some programs may support the functionality to install over the old version, but that doesn't go for drivers.
