Changing from Nvidia to ATI....Help!

[Daftboy]

After a couple of months searching, I've finally got a ATI 9800Pro All-in-wonder (Bit more than I needed) for a good price £50 out of the micro mart magazine.
Anyway, before I install the new card, do I need to remove all of the old drivers first and then remove the old and install the new graphics card?

Never switched makes before and I've read somewhwere (Maybe on old Nvidia drivers) that the product should but uninstalled first!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Yep, remove the drivers from Ctrl Panel>Add/Remove Programs.

I'd also uninstall the card via device manager if it still shows up after removing the drivers.........

Great advice and thanks for the input.
I'll give it a try over the weekend and let you know.

Thanks for the advice mate.
Driver installation worked like a dream.
The only minor problem I have now is with regards to the DVD software. As the unit was second hand, no driver CD, although he did supply all of the other software.
The DVD software (I had to download) will not install without the ATI CD-ROM in the drive. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Games, etc much quicker and I love the fact I can watch my TV whilst playing Champ Manager!

There is no legal fix for this. You can use any software DVD player with the card though, so download a few trial versions and see which you prefer.
