How do I uninstall the drivers of devices, specifically for graphics cards

I got an AMD graphics card in a PC and now I switched to a NVIDIA one. I thought I could uninstall the AMD driver to save a little space (which has a SSD system drive), but it appears not in the Panel-> uninstall a program. It appears in the control panel-> system and security-> check for updates-> view update history, but there is no uninstall option. If I go into the Panel-> uninstall a program-> view installed updates and the search for "ATI Technologies" (start of title), nothing is found. Is it possible to uninstall?

You should completely uninstall the drivers AMD to avoid any conflict with the Nvidia drivers.

First uninstall all driver AMD, including the Catalyst Control Center components (if that's what they still call)

through programs and features - Reboot

[EDIT: Exceptions-]

If you are using a processor or motherboard AMD chipset you pouvez always need CCC, and if you want to use the integrated

graphics on the cpu, you will need the drivers for it.]

-This should not be done in the future, unless a driver installation is damaged, but when changing brands, it is advisable to run the pilot merger or DDU and have this program to uninstall all of the remaining files

(generally, a few registry keys).

After doing 'cleaning up' with one of these tools again reboot before installing the Nvidia drivers.

I always use Driver merger, but DDU has been more popular recently. A lot of people don't bother uninstalling via programs and features first more and go directly to DDU.

Your choice...

-When installing the Nvidia drivers use the "custom" option and do not install features, you do not use

EG - 3D vision, HD audio. The only required features are the main engine and PhysX.

If you want to that Nvidia can help you with the graphics options to use in the games also install the Geforce experience,

but note that this will use the 'optimal' settings, and in most cases, you can push a little higher setting.

I'm still old school and use whatever settings are available in the configuration of games and with older games in particular.

Use the Nvidia - settings 3D control panel. Mainly for Anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering.

Yet apparently Nvidia will force experience"across the world in the near future, so you can

want to get used to use it-

-Note that AMD and Nvidia first unpack the drivers to a folder in C:\. You can remove these after installation

the driver and save a little more space

(But honestly. If you are desperate for the space of HARD drive that you want to crop a few hundred

megabytes, you need another HARD drive to go with your SSD. I keep all my games on the HARD drive as the only advantage using an SSD is a slightly faster loading time. Games

Run the same).

-The Windows Installer updates also, so it does not automatically download and install the drivers.

These are found in the 'optional' section updated and can be 'hidden '.

    So I'll try this installation sequence:

    I hope that the FN keys will work after this installation sequence.

    How can I download the drivers for a processor that crashed and does not have access to the internet.  The drivers seem to be the problem.

    First of all, please note that you mean a computer, not a cpu.  "CPU" means "Central processing unit". In modern personal computers, the CPU is a relatively small chip, an integrated circuit. It is located on the motherboard inside the computer case. It is not the case itself, nor is it the total computer, which includes the case and what it contains.

    Download drivers on another computer and put them on CD or thumb. Bring them to the computer in question, and then copy them there.

    Hello manjunath25,

    If you want to uninstall programs in Windows XP, go to control panel, add/remove programs, find the program you want to uninstall, then highlight and click on uninstall.

    If you feel that you still have the programs uninstalled in the registry entries, go to a command prompt. Then type regedit. Do a find for the name of the program and then delete the keys as your find.

    Note:

    Change REGISTRY parameters incorrectly peut cause of serious problems only peut
    prevent the your computer de Startup correctly. Microsoft cannot guarantee only any
    problems resulting de le configuration of of REGISTRY parameters peut be solved.
    Changes of these parameters are at your own risk.

    If you try to uninstall everything product Antivirus, it is better to go to the manufacturer of the antivirus and download the uninstall tool. Just uninstall these types of programs does not always remove all the registry entries.


    Hope this has answered your questions.
     
    Sincerely,
