i recently installed my xtasy radeon 9200se 128mb graphics card and i'm having problems with removing the old graphics driver. it was a driver for an integrated intel 82845G graphics controler. every time i try to uninstall it, it still appears in the device manager. i tried uninstalling it from the control panel and device manager. how do i uninstall it ?

Hi gamer88.


Look for onboard graphics in your BIOS and see if you can disable it there.


Take care,

Linda

hello, i have the new drivers for intel 82845G/GL graphics card and it is making all of my games run horribly bad. I had to reinstall windows due to a virus and before i reinstalled my games all worked great. Know of somewhere where I could get the older version of the driver? if anyone knows where or has it, it would be greatly appreciated, thanks

You can't uninstall drivers in windows 2000 or windows xp that are installed with windows installation or windows update because of the windows\system32\dllcache directory. The hidden dllcache directory has a backup of every system or driver file in windows and when you try to uninstall it will automatically replace the deleted file with a copy.
