Right click My Computer, go to Properties, and then to the Hardware tab. Once there, click on the Device Manager button.

You should be able to uninstall the new driver from there and hopefully find a new one that will work better for you. You can try and see if Windows has any built in drivers for your card, but chances are slim to none.

As to where you can find a new [i}real[/i] driver, I can't help you there.

If you updated it with the wrong driver, it'll definitely affect performance. Make sure you got the right one (meaning, you'll have to know for sure what your chipset is).

And it'd be cool if you posted an intro thread in the New Geeks forum. Thanks.
