    I think I might be a noob. I went to go uninstall the video card driver for my 555 NVIDIA GT555M 3.0GB thinking I could easily reinstall it, went back to device manager now listed instead of the video card is standard 'VGA graphics adapter' underneath the device status it says device cannot start. How do i get back to having it work properly?

    I cant even get any new drivers installed, even with a modded INF file. So I did a system restore.
