Hello, I'm currently installing a new graphics card into my computer, and, because I'm mud-brained when I have to do something like this, I figure I should get some help from people that know what they're doing.

The only thing I really need to know, is information on removing old graphics software. See, I've never installed a graphics card before, so I don't have anything special, but I figure I should have at least something like a graphics card in my programs, so I look around.

Before I destroy what I think I need to destroy, I need conformation. Do I need to kill this "Intel(R) Extreme Graphics 2 Driver"

Any and all input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Uninstall the software through it's uninstaller, shut the computer down and then put the new card in before booting back up. That should be all you need to do.
