Updating video card drivers HELP

I just downloaded the latest nvidia drivers....After uninstalling the old
ones from Vista....vista automatically installs the default drivers thus the
only way for me to update is to install the drivers on top of vista's default
drivers. is there a way to disable the auto update/install feature on vista
so i can update my video card drivers with the latest?

RE: Updating video card drivers HELP

This is by design after uninstalling the old driver, otherwise you'd be
looking at a blank moniter, and be unable to install your new driver.
Vista's default driver will upgrade/go away when you perform the new
installation.
