Did you remove the old drivers before installing the new ones?

That is probably the problem then. To correct it, you will need to uninstall the new drivers, then get "Driver Cleaner" (go to google and search for it, but it should be at driverheaven.something).

The Driver Cleaner will remove the remnants of all video drivers. The re-install the new drivers and you should be back in business.

Same thing. Youy need to purge all the driver stuff from the system for the video card in order to get back to a normal system for updating the video card driver.
