How do I downgrade, or uninstall my display drivers?. I have the Omega 2.5.22 drivers for my 9800 pro.

go to disk clean up. then more options. then hit installed programs. find the drivers and remove. then you can install the original drivers off the original instalation disk for the vid card.

Isn't there a special Drive Cleanup program as well?

I don't know of any special Drive Cleanup programs but whats always worked for me is the Roll Back Driver button in the driver tab of the properties dialog box of the display adapter. If you don't have any drivers to roll back to you can also use the Uninstall button right underneath the Roll Back Driver button. All of this assuming you are using XP of course. Which OS do you have?

Yep. I am using XP.
I'm upgrading my drivers from the 3.8's to the 3.9's, reason being is for some reason or another, the 3.8's have some issues running on my video card, I have the 9800 pro. Also, they have a problem with Farcry as well, and when I asked Renzatic about it, he said that the 3.8's ran fine with Farcry. So, I'm gonna give the 3.9's a shot.

Uh oh, gotta defend my honor!

Actually I couldn't remember if the 3.8's or the 3.9's worked best with Farcry, I remember using one of the 2 to get AA and FSAA working with the game on my 9800 Pro, but the rest would cause the game to either look funny in a best case scenario or at worst crash the game...lol, which you know about by now.

Oh, and that driver cleaner program I told you about...it's just called Driver Cleaner (they're not too creative with their names I guess) and it comes with the Omega drivers I recommended. It's usually a good idea to go ahead and use it cuz with most driver sets, specially ATI stuff since it's really finicky, it's best to clean up all the excess garbage that gets left behind after an uninstall. It'll help keep things running smoothly and will prevent any weird problems you'll get when the new drivers you're using accidently tries to use an older driver file that's still on your comp.

Anyone know where I can get a new Driver for my Nforce 2 Ultra 400 mobo?

If it's an Nforce driver you're after, you'd best try www.nvidia.com
