I want to uninstall my drivers for my old video card because they are interferring with my new video card, I cannot start up my PC with the new vid card and I'm positive the drivers are the problem. The only dilema is I do not want to chance it and take out my old drivers, if I uninstall them will they become deleted off my hard drive? I am just worried my new card may not work, which would then cause me to reinstall the old one back in so I would also need my old drivers for that right? I don't have the CD for my old video card so I can't install the drivers with that. Is there a way to save drivers onto a floppy?(this probably sounds stupid but I'm serious) If so where are all the drivers located on my hard drive? Thanks in advance.

A video drivers question

If you did not remove the old video card from the device manager, you can go to the properties of that device and then click on the Driver File Details to find out which files are used to drive the device. This window will show you the path for the files. All should be in c:\Windows\System folder. You can then move them to a diskette, or to another folder. Michelle Fulton
