Sad sapphire 9600xt vga driver missing??

I have just 'upgraded' from a Geforce2 64mb card to the saph rad 9600xt (256mb). Thought i'd be clever and do a bit of home work on changing cards before i started. So what the he** has gone wrong? I Have used the remove driver utility to the letter and am now being asked on the new driver installation 'to configure the display adaptor with a standard vga driver'. Where's it gone?
I have been reading this forum for a while now and thought you guys may have an answer. I know i have read the same problem on here somewhere but can't locate it again
With it being a retail card i am trying to install v3.9 drivers but they dont want play because of the above
With the current 'default setting' at mo' the txt on web pages is a nightmare to read and i am struggling to find a solution. Please can you point me in the right direction or can you remember the solution?

system:
msi k7n2-l
xp2000
768mb pc2100
120gb h/d

Crash Override is an unknown quantity at this point

in your hardware device screen tell it to uninstall the graphics card

reboot and let it install the default drivers it has

then reboot again and install your new drivers

EEK! Update

Crash, thanks mate but already done that, but i have had an enlightening experience this afternoon(gmt).
Went through the removal process again and then went to device manager and removed any sub-sections with nVidia pre-fixes except the ide controller part. this time on reboot it did as described and automatically added the vga driver
So in went the driver disk and all loaded fine until right at the end i got an error message which read as follows:- THE INSTRUCTION AT "0x771c732a" REFERENCED MEMORY AT "0x00163430". THE MEMORY COULD NOT BE "READ"
At this point i could only press OK. At the moment all is working great but have had to come to work so have shut down and walked away. Has anyone got any idea as to what the error message means? Am i best to ignore it? So far after two hours running there has been no undue crashes or failures.
