Installing ATI after Nvidia Card.

edit: The title should read ATI AFTER Nvidia, not AND.


Here's the situation. I'm trying to get my Radeon 7200 to work on my machine which had a Asus GF4 Ti4200 card before. I'm having no luck in getting the Radeon card to work. It freezes and alot of time just crash the whole system (black screen). The thing is that the Radeon card worked on this system flawlessly for more than a year just before I switched over to the Gefore card couple of weeks ago. I don't have the Gefore card anymore so I switched back, not because I prefer a Radeon 7200 over GF4 card

This is in Win98. I know the card still works becasue it works in my dual-boot WinXP. And it works in Win98 safe mode. I've tried several different versions of the driver. I also used Detonator Destroyer to clean out the Nvidia driver (though after a restart). Also tried my best to clean the remnants out of the registry. Deleted a couple of Nvidia related files in the \system folder. One thing I have to point out is I used Asus's own driver before switching to Nvidia's, so maybe it's related to Asus's driver. I've tried cleaning that out too.
Please help!

One last thing, I remember installing soemthing called GART when installing the GF4200, don't know if that means anyting.

Yea I tried removing it in safemode. I read that the left over files from Nvidia driver can cause problems. Maybe I have to manually remove some files. Anyone?
