Detonator uninstallation problems
First off, I'm running Windows 2000 SP2 on a VisionTek GF3, but I use detonator drivers. After I uninstall a previous version of detonator drivers using the add/remove programs wizard, I have problems installing new ones.

After I uninstall a previous version of detonator drivers using the add/remove programs wizard, I have problems installing new ones. I go to hardware manager, right click on the VGA adapter, go through the whole update driver thing, specify location, blah blah. After installing the new drivers, however, it doesn't display the reboot prompt after installing. Often times I reboot manually, but then the drivers are messed up after I reboot and don't work.
I was thinking that it might help to switch the display adapter to Standard VGA adapter after uninstalling the first drivers, but I couldn't find it in the driver list.
Any help?

Try to download and install program "NVCleaner" from http://www.guru3d.com
Maybe this one can help you to remove the garbage stacked in the registry ...

I use NvMax, it is on http://tweakfiles.com.
It has an uninstall of detonators feature and it has never failed me.

Yes...I use NvMax in W2k. When you use the uninstall feature, it reboots your machine. Once rebooted W2k will try to find another driver or card. Do not press OK or Cancel, let all your startup processes loadup, if the prompt is still asking for OK or cancel, press cancel. W2k will then select Standard VGa adaptor for you.
Try that.
Try that.
