PC is slow now that i have a new videocard,plz help!

Hi

Ive been trying to get my pc back to work after 4 days and i keep failing at it. I recentley bought a new video card,this one:http://www.club-3d.com/productshow_...dia&ordercode=CGN-GS766&show=&p=&filter=&l=en

and i did everything the instructions said but once i start the cd and want to install the driver, i keep getting an error saying its not compatible with my current driver and it has to close down the installation.
Ive already tried removing the old driver before i installed the new one but it doesnt work. So i tried sth. else..i downloaded the version 91.45 driver from www.laptopvideo2go.com like a friend of mine told.. i did that and the error didnt come up this time.Everything was installed. The problem now is, my computer shuts down,runs,restarts VERY SLOW since i installed it and ive tried like everything these 4 days. I ran everything from virusscans to spyware scans blabla and stil the same problem, its still slow as hell!! I re-installed windows exp for the third time now and im fed up with it
Is it possible that my computer just isnt able to support this new graphic card?
Here's all the information about my computer.

i also bought extreme power 430 Watt and some proffesional installed it into my computer. Just so you know...

im desperate!!

Neeeeed Helppppppppppppp

thnx in advance,

Bye =(

 

here try installing this driver
installing that other driver may have jacked something up. if that didn't help post back and we'll go from there.

 

appreciate your help, ill try to install that driver now. Ill report back in a few minutes =)

 

i cant install the driver, it gives me the same error as the one on the cd:
The Nvidia-installationprogramm could not find drivers that were compatible with your current hardware.Installation will close.

darn

 

What kind of video card did it previously have...you might have to run a drive cleaner in order to properly remove the old driver before you install the new one!!

try running this first:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/Driver_Cleaner_Professional_d3214.html
it should remove any instance of your video drivers that you have. then reinstall..

 

used to have this: nVIDIA NV31-P141 GeForce FX 5600 128 MB DDR + TV-Out (RCA) grafische kaart

Ive done a drive cleaner in the past, and it didnt stop the error from happening.

BTW, the 91.45 version i downloaded from www.laptopvideo2go.com was with the editted INF file, cause else it didnt work and it would give me the error again at the installation..

EDIT: alright ill run driver cleaner, ill post the result soon. (thnx guys)

 

try the driver cleaner again and see if it made any difference. you could have been using a crapy driver cleaner.

 

can you believe i finally managed to run that darn driver cleaner :S comp is so slow! anyway, it didnt help i still get the error.
any suggestions guys? :'(

 

Ok i managed to find a driver that DOES run without the error, 91.33 BETA. i installed it, thought i got a message saying it didnt get aprove by a logo test or sth and could cause an instable computer if i install it. ALL the drives i ever downloaded gave that message btw.
Anyway its installed but my computer is still slow. Could this be spyware or trojans or sth? I do have a firewall,norton internet security 2005. Since my CPU=100% like all the time it might be spyware right?... :S ill run Spybot and Ad-aware but its going to be a hell with this slow computer ill give an update soon.

 

Read and follow this thread verbatim!! It is lengthy, but it is very thorough, and if you have any questions, the guys over at the Malware forum are great!! This will make sure you get you system straightened out!!!!

I think rogvalcox intended to provide this link:

As suggested, READ it and FOLLOW it EXACTLY, so you can test your system for spyware / malware / other nasties. Chances are, Windows is coughing up furballs, but you have to rule out malware before you try to "fix" Windows.

 

the 7600GS AGP is a new card and i dont know if older drivers will work with it. Make sure the driver supports the 7600GS agp

 

alright thnx guys =) ill follow it, and hope this nightmare which lasts 5 days already will end
