Video card drivers

So I wanted to install new drivers for my graphics card so I went and downloaded the new drivers, and this time, instead of removing my drivers from my install/remove option in control panel, I decided to remove them by going into the advanced settings in my video settings component (desktop, right click, screen resolution, advanced settings). Now after removing the drivers through this new way, my computer now doesn't detect my video card's presence, thus making it impossible to install the new drivers. How can I get my computer to detect the card's presence again? TIA

what video card do you have?
Shouldn't you be able to install the driver, regardless if your video card is being detected or not?
I assume you went to the your video card web site and downloaded the latest driver from there?

1st you wanna make sure traces of all the old file is gone..look up guides on how to do this depending on AMD or Nvidia
reboot
install new driver (make sure for Nvidia you don't use express install...NEVER ever)
reboot again
