Except you left a little out, you overlooked uninstalling the old driver first. The succession is supposed to go something like this: uninstall old driver (from Add/Remove Programs), then you have to restart, if Windows asks to install a driver, cancel, install innovative driver and restart. You do not desire to install a graphics driver on top of an old one. From time to time you have to utilize programs like Driver cleaner to get free of the entire driver files.
