It looks like I have Nvidia Forceware drivers installed now that I checked better (new version 5.3.3). Under their release notes they say among their 'open' issues is incompatibility with older Intel Indo 3.x codecs when playing certain .avi files. Is that the main problem with them or much more things?

Anyway, can I get some advice on how to remove these Nvidia Forceware drivers safely and completely? (falling back on standard Win XP drivers I guess). I don't want to do it half-assed and have part of it still embedded in my os/registry/system. Would a simple uninstall and remove programs do it?

Thx for any tips...
as you have the VIA chipset you need the VIA 4in1`s(there better than the standard winXP driver)http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=300
also the forceware drivers you have installed are for your graphic card there nothing to do with the ide drivers as you dont have the Nforce chipset on the motherboard so no need to uninstall them
