Hey all,
So I finally decided on a new card, the 8800 GTS 640MB. I do have a problem though. Before I sold my old card, an ATI card, I forgot to uninstall the drivers. Stupid ik, but I was hurrying and not thinking. So I still have the old ATI drivers installed on my computer. Will that cause any problems when I boot up the computer with the new Nvidia card and the old ATI drivers? I figured I would just boot into safe mode and uninstall the old drivers, but I was worried that some problems might occur. Will I be ok? I only ask because I have never run into this situation before, usually I plan ahead better.

Thanks

shouldnt be a problem.

you can also use driver cleaner pro to get rid of any remaining ati files (this can be used in safe mode aswell).
