I always follow the steps outlined in the DriverCleaner readme and have never had a problem.
From the DC Readme.txt....
" 1. Unplug nic card or modem from net or disconnect
2. Remove ATI driver from add/remove programs then remove CP from add/remove programs
3. Reboot into safe mode (F8 during boot up)
4. On reboot into safe mode winXP SP1 will auto detect and install drivers. Just let it do its thing. If you can cancel out of the auto install hardware wizard then skip the rest and run Driver Cleaner! If you can NOT cancel out of auto detect wizard then...
5. Navigate to device mgr->display adapter->uninstall and/or remove ATI display adapter but do not reboot
6. Run Cab Cleaner (not needed, but recommended)
7. Run Driver Cleaner
8. Empty recycle bin and reboot
9. Install the new drivers and control panel"

The steps are the same for official and omega's.

I'm not familiar with nforce drivers. sorry.

The only rule I follow with mobo and graphics drivers is on a clean install of XP. I always install the mobo driver as one of the first things...i.e. 1)OS install 2) SP1a install 3) mobo drivers 4) etc.
And install the graphics drivers as one of the last things.

For updating graphics drivers DriverCleaner is a great tool !!
