Help Removing Drivers

I have installed a bfg physics card, and am trying to upgrade the drivers to new ones. when I uninstall the software in add or remove programs, and in device manager and restart the PC it keeps installing the old drivers. if I try to install the new drivers over the old ones it still uses the old ones. I tried to delete the drivers in system 32 drivers folder, but they keep come back after restart.  How do I get rid of the old drivers. and install the new ones. Thanks

Try installing them after you uninstall the old ones before you restart. Also, you can try doing it in VGA mode (hit F8 repeatedly on startup).

Munchbox,
 
Go to C:\Windows\Inf folder.  Look for OEMxx.INF where xx is a number.  Start with the highest.  Open and see which one refers to the old driver for your card.  When you find it, delete that OEMxx.INF file and its associated OEMxx.PNF file.  Then reinstall your new drivers.
