Clean Sweep

[alcoholicmonkey]

Hi all is it really necessary to use clean sweep to uninstall old graphic drivers before i install my new drivers?

If you're going from Nvidia to ATI or vice versa, definitely yes.

If you're just going from an ATI driver to a new ATI driver, then no.

I switch from nvidia to Ati but didnt do a clean sweep. Now is it too late to do one?

Please help on what I can do now?
