    Default Installing new graphics card?

    OK, I've managed to pick up a cheap 7600GS AGP card to replace my 5200 AGP card.

    Now all I need to do is work out how? The manual says I need to uninstall my VGA driver. How do I do this? Then it's a case of plug it in, use the new cd to install new vga driver right?

    Will I need to download and install new drivers after this?

    Cheers for your help in advance,

    Hi,
    I don't know about that particular card but to uninstall a graphics cards driver, I go into the add and remove program, located in the control panel. Find your old graphics card driver and then click on remove/uninstall.

    To install your new graphics card driver, yes you slot it in and wait for the window that prompts you to install the new drivers needed for your new graphics card.

    Hope this helps; anyone please put me right if I am wrong, but that’s the way I would do it.

    Regards
    Dan
