installing new video card

Using XP Home Edition Service Pack 1
Active X9

1. When going from an analog video to a digital video card
must I FIRST UNINSTALL the old analog drivers and then install the new
digital drivers?

2. A friend INSTALLED the video digital drivers of my NEW PCI digital video
card WITHOUT UINSTALLING the old analog APG video drivers.
Then he noticed I had purchased the WRONG digital video card (I bought a PCI
when indeed I MUST HAVE AN APG video card).

So NOW I have NEW digital video drivers for a digital PCI card and STILL
have the OLD ANALOG video card in my machine.

Could this be the reason my computer will no longer shut down or restart?
I have to shut it down by turning it off from the surge protector?
I have to restart it with the button on the computer.

Also, could this be the reason that now 44 of my 63 All Programs Icons are
GENERIC? Recycle Bin is also a generic icon shortcut.

Also, the SLEEP MODE button on my Microsoft Internet keyboard will not send
my computer into sleep mode.

I have to exchange the new PCI digital video card for a new APG digital
video card and install both the card and drivers.

Any suggestions on the above items for RESOLUTION and INSTALLATION???

I know this has been unsually long.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION and ASSISTANCE!!!!

PS...the new card and drivers I speak of above are a PCI MadDog Multimedia
Predatior MX 4000 Plus with nVIDA G-FORCE MX 4000.

I will be exchanging the above PCI...for an APG MadDog Multimedia Predatior
MX 4000 Plus with nVIDA G-FORCE MX 4000.
