Right click My Computer, select PRoperties, select Device Manager, click on Display Adapters, select your Video Card, then at the bottum, click remove, you get Warning are you sure, blah blah blah, select YES. Turn off computer. Remove old card, make sure new card will fir in slot (AGP or PCI). Turn computer on, install drivers.
