Driver Problems

[shenmueguru]

I haven't updated my video card drivers for years due to a problem that occured whilst trying to download new radeon drivers from ati's site for my 9250. I removed the display driver from add/remove programs, rebooted, and found my computer operable only in safe mode (regular mode was a chaotic wreck). I only escaped alive due to a system restore point. Anyways, as you can see I've got a crappy card and want to make the best of it. I suspect that it might have been the fact that I might not have the microsoft .NET framework; the website this was necessary for success. I heard that the occurance is sometimes normal and little can be done, however. Any advice?

Clean out your drivers with Driver Cleaner Pro and then try installing the new drivers. Make a system restore point just in case though...
