Take a Vista machine. In my my case, a Ghost image to beta test a
piece of software. Rebuild the machine to a base Vista image. Now
install a new video card. What happens? You get a new screen that
states the winload.exe craps out at 0xc000000e. You have to get you
Vista disk and repair. OK.. but try this.. install the old video card
and what happens-- You get the same error message Why?

I have had bad situations in Win XP doing the same thing.
The best solution is to uninstall the existing driver and
then reinstall the driver with the new video card. My
experience has been with nVidia cards, but it probably has
similar consequences regardless of the brand. What happens
is that one card model will use a different .dll and/or .sys
module than another model of the same brand.

So, your experience is normal. I know that nVidia
specifically advises you to follow the procedure I described
above.

Update:

If you repair the machine once, every time you boot the machine you
have to repair the machine again.
