Well, I am about to install my video card, and I am going from an ATI to gforce, and I am wondering should I remove my current driver first, then insert new hardware, and then install my new driver? Advise, that I have an ATI Catalyst Control Center, which I am assuming that I need to remove that as well....any advice will help alot, thanks guys!

yes, remove all your drives first. I'm not sure about the Catalyst control thing.

Alright, so I use the driver cleaner program, I am assuming I should use safe mode for that? Unistall drivers, shut down, take out card, put new card in, reboot, install drivers,a nd then reboot again.
