Video card assistance

I use windows 7 and I updated my video driver and now CRPG runs w/ FPS lag.  How do I go back to my old driver? 

I use a 260x NVidia graffix card if that helps.  Thanks! 

I know there are a lot of computer wizzes that can breeze through questions like this.

edit: never mind, I have been using a laptop for a long time I assumed everyone else did. Don't try one of these!

NVIDIA drivers always leave the installer for each version you install in C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\xxx\ (where "xxx" is the version number). When you install a different driver, select custom installation (untick HD Audio and 3D Vision unless you have those) and enable "Perform a clean installation", so it will completely uninstall the current drivers installed.

And, if you don't have any of these installers in your hard drive, go here: http://www.geforce.com/drivers/beta-legacy
It should list older drivers based on the card and OS you choose.

By the way, in case you are using WSE2 and, since it now re-enables "load textures on demand" after every patch, check if that option is enabled. It causes a lot of stuttering for me.
