Recently, I installed new Nvidia GeForce drivers for my computer, but after I did, things got complicated and annoying, and I sort of want to uninstall them now. They show up in Add/Remove Programs, so it's easy for me to, but will it harm my computer in any way? If I can, please tell me so, because these drivers annoy me. Also, I use Revo Uninstaller to uninstall programs. If I use it to uninstall the drivers, will it accidentally uninstall my graphics card regular stuff, too? That would be bad…
The drivers work, they just do weird things like…
Before, they never really used to interfere with my computer, but now I have multiple processes running from Nvidia, I have a new Nvidia control panel, they have a few errors occasionally, and a few other things…

well yeah when you installed that you uninstalled the current drivers. What you will do is erase them but you will have to get the disk of the first drivers that you were using and reinstall them other wise you will not have sound and things like that.

You will need to replace the drivers with a working version, not uninstall them. Get a working version from Nvidia.

If you uninstall the drivers, your screen will be locked at very low resolution and color depth until you reinstall the drivers. So no, I would not recommend that.
Instead, if you're having errors, try downloading the drivers again from here:

The running processes and control panel are normal, though. There should be an option in the control panel to stop it from showing up in the taskbar, but it comes with the drivers and can't be removed separately.
Also, if your older drivers did not include the control panel, they must have been very, very old. Using the newest drivers instead should give you a drastic performance increase, and can help solve other problems.
