Driver issue/ Reinstallation

I have three questions

1) I tried updating the drivers for my 8600M GS on my Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Xi 2428. I followed the guidlines at http://www.laptopvideo2go.com, unistalled the old drivers, used Driver Cleaner and then instaled the 174.74 drivers for Vista32. Everything seemed alright until I received a blue screen ( my first one ) while I was trying out the demo of Crysis. Is this normal behaviour, in other words Crysis' fault or is it because of the driver?

Note that I didn't try running Crysis with the stock drivers. Also I received a blue screen at two instances. First during the intro ( the one with the airplane ) when I let the game select the optimum setings for my laptop. I had to restart an then tried running the demo with everything on low and a res of 1280x800. All seemed ok until another blue screen popped up halfway through the demo.

If this is the driver's fault should I
*try reinstalling the stock driver by downloading it form Fujitsu's site
*use system restore
*roll back to the previews driver by using my GPU's properties menu
Also do any of you know where exactly does Vista store the driver files?


2) Should anything go terribly wrong and I'm forced to restore the laptop to the factory settings, will there be any issues when I attempt to reinstall programmes that require registation/ ( key ) activation such as NOD32 and Office?


3) I ended up having two versions of Office installed. One "Home and Student" and one "Standard". Both show up at Add/Remove Programmes and the "home and Student" one must be a trial. Will there be any issues should I attempt to uninstall it?

 

1. I think it would be a good idea to roll back to the previous driver and try that out. If that works, you can run Driver Cleaner and install a different version of the Laptopvideo2go drivers. If that one doesn't work either, go into Safe Mode, run Driver Cleaner, and re-install stock drivers. Then try those out before installing any others.

2. You should not have any problems re-activating with a valid key. I've re-installed Office numerous times without issue.

3. You can try uninstalling it, if it is indeed just a trial. As long as the version of Standard that you have is a complete install, there shouldn't be any problems with that either. Lots of machines come pre-installed with Office trials.

 

Ok. But what about the ones that require online registration like NOD32? Is it ok so long as I use my old account on the same machine?
