Manually removing it is too dangerous and slow. Add Reg Clean (http://www.compufiles.com/maintenance.html) to the Easy Cleaner of Vic970.

Umm, you don't want to remove the standard vga entries, or you'll not get any gui upon windows boot! There has to be at least the vga drivers path for safe mode & and undetected video adapter for windows to load some driver for your video.

if you want to get rid of the TNT entry(s) just do a search in the registry for it and delete the coresponding keys/values-but make sure to back them up first!
