Hi Milena

That would be a yes.

If you still experience some kind of problem, after uninstalling / install of drivers,
you may have to download a driver cleaner to clean up after the the old driver.

I have also responded to your other topic, where you have driver problems.
Please notify if thats not the case anymore.

So i would go to add remove programs and choose to uninstall the drivers program correct? How would the device work with no current drivers installed?

Hi Milena

Windows own drivers would temporarily take over.
It will (most likely) display with a setting of 800x600,
large icons etc.

Be sure to remove the right drivers in Remove/add programs in case you
use Nvidia drivers for your motherboard as well. A reboot should be done
before installing the new drivers.
