Installed new driver before unistalling older one

So I finally got the Adapter i needed for my 8600gt and now i cant get on to the computer to test it out. I think I Installed the driver for the new card and didn't uninstall the older one and now I have a black screen but I can hear windows boot up. I put the older card back in to see what would happen and im still getting a black screen, anyone on here know what to do?

Re: Installed new driver before unistalling older one

See if you can boot the system into Safe Mode and uninstall the Driver.

Then restart the system and install the updated Driver.

Re: Installed new driver before unistalling older one

from safe mode

in the device manager uninstall the video card
reboot tapping f8 and choose vga mode
when windows finishes rebooting
disable a/virus
install your drivers
reboot the computer
