Gotta look at the bright side.. atleast you're to the configuration part and not the shipping parts back to the manufacturer ;-)
I usually remove old drivers before installing a new videocard, but since I didn't have to install new drivers when I put in the 7900GS I didn't bother. I figured the 7600GS would just work, which I guess it did but was displaying a resolution that my old LCD couldn't handle and I had no way of changing it until I removed the old drivers. Oh well, it's fine now.
Praise Jebus I have a USB external dive and a 2GB memory stick for moving stuff from the old system to the new one.
