Un-installing Omega 1.5303 drivers

I tried out the new 1.5303 drivers on one of my games DungeonSiege and ran into some problems, first graphic quality was 1st rate and fps were very good. In one porsion of the game there was lots of things going on and when you paned around frames got jerky, fps did not fall off. When you would climb stairs or hill sides the senery would roll or jerk. I tried removing the drivers by going to add/remove and removed the Omega display software (no drivers were listed), then booted into safe mode, usually windows would detect new hardware installed, this time it did not, i went to hardware and the Omega drivers were still listed with an astric. I ran driver cleaner3 and cab cleaner, then rebooted. Still windows did not detect new hardware, i then went to hardware and removed the video adapter. I then rebooted and again it still did not detect new hardware installed, i unzipped my PNY FX Verto 5303 drivers and went to hardware, device manager, display adapter and update drivers, the Omega drivers were still there and windows tried to install them, i selected the PNY drivers and installed them. All seams to be working ok, went back to the game where i was having problems with the Omega drivers and all graphics were smooth no rolling or jerking. I am just consearned the there might be a driver conflict since i could not fully remove the Omega drivers

Even though Omegadrive says to install his driver over the top, this only really applies if your installing a similar driver (from another 5x.xx)
The 4x.xx installer/uninstaller works differently to the 5x.xx and problems can occur like yours.

In my opinion unistall drivers first.
