Best way to uninstall video drivers?

I am installing a new ATI AGP video card. Currently have an older Nvidia AGP card in my PC.What is the best way to uninstall the old video card drivers? Do I do it by going to Hardware and then device manager and uninstalling the drivers or do I go to Control Panel and then add and remove programs to uninstall the drivers? Thanks for your help. Katie

Uninstall the software in control panel then go to device manager and uninstall the hardware. Then reboot immediatley remove the hardware and install the new hardware. Then boot and load your new drivers.

I also use Driver Cleaner Pro to remove any driver "residue". Do a search to find the free version.
