Video Driver Update

I believe the Graphics Card Driver I have is corrupt and I want to install a new one with the same version.  What is the procedure to re-install a video driver?  If I uninstall it first will I lose my monitor?  Thanks in advance for any help in this area.

Re: Video Driver Update

The proper method would be to remove the old one via Add/Remove programs.  Followed up by a reboot.  You can then navigate to c:\SWTOOLS\DRIVERS\VIDEO  if you are using a preloaded image to reinstall a new graphics driver.   You should find the setup executable in that folder.

 

You should not lose your monitor.  It will however probably revert to 640x480 VGA mode after the reboot.
