Yea....but strange....are you sure you aren't still using the Windows graphic drivers?
Any card is an upgrade from those...and any card today are more advance then what you tell.
When you removed those graphic drivers and restarted the PC...did it see your card? if not...did you go to controll panel add/remove hardware and let it search for it....if it don't find the card...you get the option to pick from a list.
The main question is..Have the PC told you that it has discovered a new item (card) ?
Go to controllpanel...screen...and look in the last option....ther you will see what drivers your pc use today.
Good luck
