Default Display driver update

Thanks Mike, as always! I did install the new driver and nothing major
happened. Of course, since I had the driver on the desktop I opted to do it
in safe mode. At any rate it worked fine. Thanks again.

It is certainly advisable to remove the old drivers before installing the
new which is why nvidia recommend doping this.

Wouldn't I run into trouble if I remove the old one?


No, for the short time that you have no nvidia drivers installed your
system will use the default vga drivers. The immediate consequence of
this will be that your display will temporarily be at low resolution and
low colour depth but once you have installed the new drivers you will be
able to choose your preferred resolution and colour depth.
