Hi SilverLight,

Drivers are handled in the Device Manager in the Control Panel (Classic View).

In Device Manager:
1. Expand Display adapters
2. Right click on your video device and click "Properties"
3. Select "Uninstall Driver"

You can get the latest Nvidia drivers here:

NVIDIA Driver Downloads - Advanced Search

Hi,
since yesterdays update [02.03.2009 (thread is nearly one year old)] my display driver doesnt work properly. It was an optional nVidia update and there is no way to remove it. The graphic driver is the latest version since three month. Its like in this thread: how to uninstall optional updates?
A way to uninstall optional updates would be helpfull!
