    Grab your drivers that match your card:
    ATI: http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html (get the smaller Non-Catalyst version if you don't use it)
    or
    NV: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

    Driversweeper will clean additional files that the uninstaller will fail to remove.
    Driversweeper: http://downloads.guru3d.com/Guru3D---Drive...5.html#download
    Install Driversweeper, but dont run it.
    First you need to uninstall your current drivers. You should do this using the default ATI or Nvidia setup entry in Add/Remove Programs. Follow its directions and reboot into safe mode.
    Once in safe mode (without networking) log in as Administrator and run Driversweeper. You may have to go to Program Files to find it.
    Click the name of your card ie. ATI, the click the arrow to move it to the remove list. The start the removal and reboot back to regular mode when its done.

    Once its back into regular mode, click cancel on any Add new hardware boxes that pop up. Then run you driver installer that you downloaded before. Follows its directions and reboot when it says to.
    Once back in, reboot again for good measure and you should be finished.

    If you are brave, grab some hacked drivers from Tweaksrus or Omega... I haven't used either lately, since the stock drivers run just fine.

    i liked it when no one knew what a rickroll was, or whether or not they had been rolled.
