uninstalling drivers

Hecate

I just got a creative geforce2 gts and, in my ignorance, installed the supplied drivers

I've downloaded the detonator 2 reference
drivers and I was wondering how you go about removing the creative ones?

There was an article about this on tweak3d.net but I cant seem to find it now

Try selecting them in device manager are they there?

Or boot windows into vga mode uninstall all drivers including the new ones and install just the new ones

Are you having probs??

Woah, you have a GeForce2? Getting ready for Tribes2?

Don't bother with the reference drivers, creative keeps their drivers pretty up to date and you get to use the BlasterControl which is pretty cool. Creative latest driver is based on detonator 5.30 and it comes in the form of an exe. You just run it and it installs everything for you without having to uninstall stuff first. Or at least that's the theory...try it

I think the creative drivers can be removed by going to add/remove programs, uninstalling, rebooting (therefore picking up standard VGA driver) then installing new drivers

Hecate

nah I'm not having problems with it, I just heard that the reference drivers were a better option than the supplied ones

thanks for that link koloth, I was able to kill the creative drivers and install the nvidia 5.32 ones, they are far superior (quality wise) and much more stable.

Install the 5.32 and then look for and install creatives fasttrax update driver, this has a handy agp setup and ge-force overclocker build-in to them. they are just as fast if not faster than the det drivers.

just have det 5.32 installed befor hand and open the exe fasttrax.exe, it will update the drivers and add the appes
