how do I uninstall this driver update i did?

[Clint_Eastwood]

Ok, so I updated my video driver to GEForce4 MX version thing, and now when I go to play counter-strike, the screen is black and the menus are just a bunch of blocks...

So how do I undo this?

[patio]

You could try re-booting into safe mode and un-installing them from there...

Ok, well I am a complete n00b so how do I go to safemode?

[patio]

On startup repeatedly tap the F8 key before you see the Windows screen and it will be the first choice listed...just hit Enter.
Don't freak out because it looks totally different (less colors etc) this is normal because only a minimal amount of drivers are loaded in safemode...

patio.

ok thx ill try it

[Clint_Eastwood]

Ok, so I tried that some, it worked up until I clicked uninstall all but display driver, and it started to , but then it froze.

Do you guys know maybe why it won't just work in the first place? the update I downloaded was teh correct one on the Nvidia website, do you know if I could do something to make it just work?

IF not, then more advice on how to get rid of it is great =)

Try out system restore to an earlier date.

You need to uninstall video drivers in control panel and reboot.

Then install the driver at below site.

do i delete all of them?

[street1 (RIP)]

Yes,for graphics.

[Clint_Eastwood]

sigh, still it is owned.

So, there are no problems whatsoever regarding the video capabilities of my computer, like I can play games like age of empires II and I can watch movies and stuff, but only Steam games do not work. SO could I maybe reinstall CS and Steam and that could fix it?
