what is the correct install order?

[tjcl]

I need to install CS6 creative suite production premium upgrade, uninstall creative SB x Fi drivers and remove that card to give me room for the new GTX660 graphics card and drivers, hack program from video1productions.  Is there a specific order that needs to be followed to get all to work correctly the first time?     The reason I do not have room are the blackmagic design and firewire cards.  I will be using an external usb audio input if and when I might want to use that.

normally, you would:

uninstall you sound card drivers

remove your sound card

add your graphics card

install your graphics card drivers.

but the phrase "hack program from video1productions" makes no sense the way you used it so i'm not sure if that is supposed to convey significant information.

Does it matter when I do the CS6 upgrade install?    Here is a quote from the video1productions that will give me the advantage of the mercury playback engine: 

Adobe 

has

only “certified” a few video cards using the NVIDIA chip set. (See Note 1, About Adobe's Certified Video Cards). If you don't have a certified card, there is no problem. You can just edit a file and add your video card to a list of video cards. Once you do that, Adobe After Effects CS6 will use your NVidia video card's GPU with the ray-traced 3D rendering engine.

Some people call this a "hack", "mod", patch or unlocking the video card. Whatever you want to call it, this will not make it a "certified" video card in the eyes of Adobe. But, it will let you use the GPU with the ray traced 3D render engine.

install cs6 after installing your updated graphics card drivers.
