I've decided to update my Nvidia 8800gt video drivers (Vista 32bit), as I haven't done so in ages. I did the obvious thing to do, and went to their website, downloaded the driver (I think it was) and tried to install it. The installation bar went about half way and stopped. Then about a minute or two later the screen went black and unresponsive, and after about 3 minutes I rebooted.

I searched around some more and found out that i needed to uninstall my old driver first, so i went to My Computer -> Properties -> Device manager -> Display adapters and tried to uninstall "NVidia GeForce 8800 GT".

Again the screen went black, and again I rebboted after 3 minutes. Then I came here. Anyone got any ideas of what to do? Maybe I was too impatient?

Thanks in advance.
