Default How to get back to vga mode

I am getting line onthe screen, thinking it may be the driver, I have
uninstall the driver of the graphic card Nvidia GF6200 from my Device
Manager.Restart the pc and it will search for the driver and install again
the GE6200 driver. Now how do I go about installing the vga driver instead to
see if it is the graphic card driver or the card problem itself or the
monitor. Or is it the monitor as I have just change the CRT monitor and use
it for a few days now, The screen will just blink., thanks Please advice

Windows should default back to the VGA driver automatically. Go to the
website of the maker of your motherboard and download the latest video
driver, save it to your desktop and run the install from there. Alternately
you can go to the Nvidia website and download the latest GE6200 driver there.
