Updating graphics drivers

Scooter

So, last night I updated my graphics driver (nvidia geforce 7600, win xp), which I probably haven't done in like two years and wouldn't have done now except I got into the ChO beta and it would keep giving me messages that my drivers needed to be updated. So.

I've uninstalled the old drivers and installed the new, but I think I must've missed a step. The screen refresh is kinda bad (when I scroll, it sort of jumps to a spot rather than smoothly scrolling) and occasionally the screen will go black for a second. Don't think it's actually using the card and/or drivers. Trying again got the same result. Is there something I missed, or should I just try finding an older driver version to go back to?

Uninstall current driver
Restart
Install New Driver

But yeah, it shouldn't be doing that. Are you sure you got the right driver for your card/OS?

The version you should be getting is 182.50, dated April 2.

Yea, that's what I got.

You could try this to remove all the old files after you uninstall the old drivers:

Also, I just noticed that Nvidia just released new drivers a couple minutes ago:

You have a 7600GT right?

Thanks, don't know what it was, but the new drivers work now. Thanks for pointing em out.
