I am talking about the old drivers that i am not using.The exe and all the other files.I downloaded the newer drivers to seperate folders on my HD.Then opened and installed from each folder.Now I have all the files for these drives in these folders.

I believe that you can go into windows under safe-mode, then right click,properties, click on device mananger(dont remember what tab it is under), then select the card you want to delete and restart comp. This is for windows xp..not sure if its the same for 98 or others but i think it is.

P.s. Let me know if it works!

i would leave the drivers alone or put them on CD. i have had a few probs with newer drivers on devices and had to Roll Back to earlier driver. glad i kept them!!!!! just a warning.
