    i need to do this also (with a new 1080p monitor as well).
    does THIS sound right:


    Connect OLD monitor to mobo VGA connector

    Start Windows, uninstall OLD Nvidia drivers

    Shut down, remove OLD card, install NEW card

    Connect NEW monitor to NEW card.

    Start Windows, install NEW Nvidia drivers


    sorry, but i'm old and have a serious case of 'CRS' ('Can't Remember Sh*t').

    THANKS!
    My motherboard has NO integrated VGA connector, but thanks for the help. I should be able to uninstall the driver from within device manager hooked to the old card and Windows 7 "generic" should take over....I think.

    Is it better to un-install from "programs and features"? and get ALL the "sub-programs" too?

    These sound like dumb questions from a "Guru" but I've got a lot on my mind. haha

    mine only shows the nvidia drivers and nvidia control panel. i plan to remove both as the control panel is (was) bundled with the drivers. not familiar with those other things on your list. if it were me, i would uninstall the works, but its you and i don't want to give bad advice, so YMMV, as they say. i've never actually looked at the nvidia junk via device manager. i typically only see it when i right click on the desktop and choose settings or in add/remove programs in control panel (or whatever that is called in win 7). i plan to remove whatever nvidia there is in add/remove programs and be done with it. once i remove the old card, that device won't even show up in device manager anymore anyway. right?

    You can still connect to new monitor to the old card and still do all the above.
