    Having accidentally loaded/installed TWO drivers, one analog and one digital, for my Samsung P2350 Analog monitor, my monitor is unsurprisingly giving me trouble, freezing and/or crashing my system. How do I delete the unwanted digital driver?
    Uninstalling the monitor via the Device Manager has not solved the problem. My system is Windows XP Pro SP3.

    Try using system restore .. Right click my computer--> properties --> System Restore tab --> choose restore point prior to drivers added or at least where you were at one driver only and then uninstall the single driver .. side note if you go back to a restore point anything that you have added (new files etc.) will also be removed . so put them on a USB stick or something or you will lose them
