When replacing the video driver, boot up into the Safe mode (F8) first.
You can't replace the driver when the driver is in use. The Safe mode uses a Microsoft default video driver and not the NVIDIA driver; therefore making it easily replaced.

If you want, after booting into the Safe mode, you can use this (free) program to help you uninstall the video driver...
