Removing old drivers, Installing new drivers Options

[THE Mechanic]

Hello Everyone ,I have resently been having problems with my computer.

Two nights ago my computer started to rev up .it sounded like my dvd drive was raceing at high speed out of controle.

I was like holy crap duck and cover man it scared the hell out of me!!!



Then tha computer screen went to a gray screen and it said..

"your computer is recovering form a error and windows must shut down'

it sent an error report and forwarded me to microsoft and said if this should happen again you should update your video drivers.



it happen again !!



so i downloaded the new drivers..



My old driver is date 2004 the new one is date july 17 2007.



now my question what is the proper way to remove the old and install the new.

I know i must remove the old first before installingthe new ones.no action taken on my part yet.

I just want to be sure i do this in the correct order.

Go to my computer and remove from thr highlight the ati video card or go to add remove program section?



thanks for help guys and gals, Russ
