Download the latest driver bt do not install it yet.
Use driver cleaner to uninstall all traces of any old drivers (ATI and nVidia)
Shutdown.
Install the new card.
Restart in safe mode.
Install the new driver.
Restart normallly.

you can use the cd
follow the instructions and you will get a screen to see what you are doing

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
