windows xp upgrade

[david]

i bought windows xp upgrade and did a full install of win
xp.i downloaded the drivers for my geforce 4200 and
installed .now when i try to run games ,that are graphics
intense,my computer restarts.i rolled back my driver to
the one windows loaded and i get really low performance.i
think what is happened is when i load the upgraded driver
some remanants of the old driver remain and is
conflicting with the new driver.how can i make sure all
of the old driver is deleted and load the new
driver.every time i try to restart the computer with no
driver and install the new one windows loads its own.

Always wise to do a clean install instead of an upgrade, it will save you
the headaches!

Sounds like your vid card driver is not installed properly. Are you using
the latest Nvidia driver package? Here is the link:
