Ok right now i run a Asus N6600(Geforce 6600)...heres the story i play World Of Warcraft and the game once in a while will freeze and just forces me to restart...i have enough RAM i got 1gig(basically minimum) but i am experiencing like white lines sometimes just one part of my screen once a while and also when i click on someone in the game theres a green circle underthem which is normal but theres green line under them aswell...windows has told me or AOL i cant remember but has said i have video card problems....as i look at my Add or Remove Programs I have Nvidia Drivers and Asus Enhanced Display Driver...are these two different things or both the same thing but different companies? I am going to update but am i supposed to delete my old drivers before i install new drivers? Should i have anything else installed Graphics card wise...like the cd(i think its just a driver)
Drivers Help!

where did you get yor video card?
what make\model is your computer?
and I would delete the Nvidia Drivers then go to the Nvidia website and download the latist drivers for your model, then if that does not work delete Nvidia Drivers and Asus Enhanced Display Driver then install the latist drivers, Do you have the CD?

I doubt it's a problem having both nVidia and Asus EDD installed at the same time. My basis for that assumption is the fact that to install Splendid, having both of those is a system requirement.
Do you play any other games besides WoW? It may be worth downloading ATI Tool, and scanning for artifacts, that's distortions on the screen similar to what you've been experiencing. Despite the name, you can use it with nVidia graphics cards for that purpose, it's designed to overclock ATI graphics cards as well.
Have you checked the temperatures of the GFX card in its control panel? It may be worth monitoring whilst running the artifact check, it'll give you an idea whether there's a cooling issue.
If you plan to update your graphics card drivers, it is definately a good idea to uninstall the old ones first, and start afresh. Otherwise there may be problems. So long as the graphics card has installed drivers, and the latest DirectX version is installed (9.0c), then there shouldn't be anything else required.
