Kids Video Card Drivers

Hey guys or gals,
I need to update my video card driver. And I was wondering if any of you can give me the step by step instruction how to update them. I know where to find the drivers and everything. And I was also wondering if I need to delete the driver I have now? If so how do I do this?

It is recommended to remove the previous drivers before installing the new ones. Just go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and look for you card manufacturers display drivers. Then run the install for the new drivers. Do not run any virus protection software in the background while installing the drivers. As it will mess with the installation.

once u do that just go into add or remove programs then uninstall your display driver. Also go to your cards site: ATI.com or Nvidia.com and download your driver. I say those 2 cuz they are the most common brands. If you have integrated graphics then you must tell us your board. After you uninstally your drivers restart your computer and install the new ones.

EDIT: Atomic beat me to it :P
