Unable To Install Graphics Card Driver After Re-installation Of OS?
Dec 28, 2009
I recently reinstalled XP but to my chagrin, it seems I cannot install the manufacturers drivers for graphics adapter or monitor, but am stuck with the generic, default drivers whose performance is horrible.It takes forever for the screen to update. I used to know what to do to fix this, but have forgotten how.
I just bought a new notebook and reformated the harddrive wiping everything off it. Though now after re-installing XP I can’t find display drivers that will work. The problem is that I don’t have the CD to install them from and have tried the ATI website but it was no good. I have ATI Radeon Mobility technology, what do I do?

whenever I try to install my new graphics card GEforce 5500 i try and install drivers half way through the install the screen goes blank for a few seconds then the computer reboots and then it still looks for the driver when i start the computer back up im running amd duron 750 processor.
I have one physical video card installed in my pc. Its a g4orce 4 ti4400 .In devmgr, i have a hidden, non present card also.Its a gforce FX5200, which I had previously. I uninstalled it from devmgr, and of course it also removed my drivers for the ti4400. But my problem is that after the uninstall,my standby or hibernate options dont even appear anymore. I am now using the integrated graphics with those drivers installed,standby hibernate are still missing. Can anyone help? I have XP Pro SP2 and would rather not do a sys restore or anything like that.
I hope someone out there can help me because i am well and truly stumped with this problem. I ordered a brand new pc - Ath 64 X2 4600+ CPU, 1 GB RAM, 400GB SATA, 256MB 7900GT, 19" TFT, 16x DVDRW-DL, Running Mcafee Antivirus / Ad-aware, I originally had problems when my Graphics card wouldn't work. I installed some older versions of the drivers and it was working okay. Then I had some problems with some dll files and i couldn't open Windows due to the system/config error at start up. I managed to repair that installation. THe next day, my PC would not boot and I could not repair it. I then found out, i had bad sectors on the Hard disk so i tried formatting it
my graphics card is old and slow and i was lookin to but a new one What would u reccomend in the 100$ price range that is fast I have a 2002 windows xp P4 processor 1.50 Ghz and 256 MB of ram, 40.0 Gb, Nvidia TnT2 graphics card
I have to install a sound card driver.I used PC Wizard 2008 and under Device Audio it says:Device Audio :82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller Manufacturer :Micro-Star International Co Ltd (MSI) Model :ALC850.
Im not very computer smart...but i have AMD Athlon 64 processor 4000 NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE Graphics My guess is i have a good processor and a horrible graphics card...the games i play such as call of duty4 and ship sim 08 realy glitch on my computer so i was thinkin of getting this card called GeForce 8800 GT super+ 1GB video card...is this what i should get..??it costs aobut 200$
I'm running windows xp pro...i'm trying to install an ethernet card and a box comes up asking for the windows cdrom to look for drivers it needs...problem is i don't have my copy of windows xp...is there a place on the computer that i can browse to find what it's looking for...i guess i'm asking if when windows xp pro is installed does it copy everything to the computer in a file somewhere. otherwise i don't know if it would be better just to buy another ethernet card or if i would have the same problem. i do have the floppy that came with the ethernet card but it says the file i need is not on the floppy...?
I'm having trouble installing a sound card into my wifes pc I'm not sure what make the card is the chip on the pcb is CMI87/PCI-6ch-LX. When I install it into the pci slot and boot the computer the video fails no display on the screen, so I removed the card and the screen worked ok. I did disable the onboard sound card befor I tried to install this card.
Man this is so sweet, I couldn't play any games before and it made me sad, so I searched and found a perfect graphics card for me! Went to best buy and bought it! But I have a question, this is sweet and all but I was wandering in the OLD version when my graphics card sucked, my CPU & CPU Speed were GREAT.Now.. it's good but not GREAT, anyway to fix this up?
I love to play guild wars.I usually play it on this computer and it runs great. Now lately the game has been going much slower than usual.It is lagging on my computer and not anyone else's.Can anyone tell me what i can do to increase my speed?I have DSL so it shouldn't be too bad.And it just recently started happening so i don't think that it's my graphics card or my RAM which is 1 GB.Dell Optiplex computer.
I have finally got it through my head that my graphics card I currently have is taking UP my ram on my PC.Im suppose to have 256MB, but on my PC it displays that I have 224. *sighs*I was wandering, what graphics card should I get that will give me back all 256 of my members? I WAS going to get this But they ran out of it... SOOO is there ANY OTHER graphics card that I could get... but like in radioshack, bestbuy, stores like that? Im not looking to spend more.
Will any graphcis card work with every motherboard? Because my graphics card is getting old and i want to get a better one. So are their specific graphics cards you can use for your motherboard or can any work?
however many times i try to restart the sound doesn't come on, on my newly installed XP proffesional SP2. this also used to happen to my other operating system media centre edition but not as often as SP2. in media centre edition i used to go to the control panel> sounds and then exited and restarted and everything was ok, but now nothing gets the sound up?? i cannot increase the sound level cause it tells me that the device is not found.
ok this is also a problem for the intel graphics card i have which isn't being recognized by XP. when i do run>dxdiag the graphics card properties and the sound card properties dont come up.
what graphics card will work best for me for my computer for gaming ?i hae a computer that i bought that was custom built but i know only so much about it ( i did not build it). i have been having trouble playing certain games i have bought with requirements like minimum of intel pent. 2.8 HTor amd athlon 2800+ 768MB / 1G RAM and video req of MIN: nvidia 6800GT (SM3) or ATI x*))XT (SM2) with latest aplicable drivers .
Installed radeon 9250. now , i cant see the boot menu . the other graphics card is a intel chipset (onboard) . Is there no way to see the boot menu on the radeon?
I have a problem loading a web site, it loads all the text but the graphics get hung up with blank squares with a red X in the corner. I don't have this problem on my other 2 computers and nothing is new on this one that I haven't done to the other ones, when I run some clean up tools or install new software programs usually all the computers are done alike so the computer I am on is the only one having the problem with the same web site.
(I have XP SP3)I have been advised to install a new driver (ACPI) to cure a problem, but to remove the old version first. How does one do that? (Windows Help & Support, as usual is no help, and the Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel likewise is obscure.)
I recently was forced to reformat my boot drive (I use Windows Xp Home Edition). I have a second hard drive, which I had mirrored my OS. The drive is my new boot drive, but I have noticed I can not install drivers anymore, despite the fact my user profile shows as having admin rights.
When first booting the system it gets to a windows screen and reboots - ad infinitum. When booted in "safe mode" it reads several files (in DOS - I think) and stops on reading a path on the "C" drive ending with something like ...../AGP 440 or ..../AGP 44? (or something smilar).
Do you think it is looking for graphics drivers?I have gone into the BIOS set up to change from a PCI graphics card to the on-board, and there appears to be no PCI card.
I recently installed XP Media center, but my graphics card isn't supported on it. All my original files from XP home edition are still there but i can't seem to get the home edition back onto my laptop with all my original settings.
Im trying to run STEAM, but everytime it runs it only runs in software mode.and i wonder if i have to install the drivers for this video card. its not my laptop, im fixing it for a friend and so i dont know. but id like to know how to navigate to the page where it tells me exactly what kind/model of graphics and video card i have.i dont remember exactly where to go on my computer to see the info.
I want to buy a new graphics card but i want to make sure i get the right one as i recently bought the wrong one and had to send it back.OK i would like to buy the Club 3D Geforce 6600 256Mb Ddr Agp Dvi Tvo or 256MB Sparkle GeForce 6600 AGP I think they are about the same but anyway i am not certain if my computer will take it.My motherboard is Columbia GX (GA-8SIML) Ver 1.0 ATX.
im running windows xp on a computer i built myself: 2.4ghz quad core pentium processor 2 gigs of ddr2 ram nvidia 9800gt graphics card I noticed a problem when running World of warcraft. I recently bought this card and was expecting to see around 70 fps with everything maxed out no problem. instead im seeing around 30-40 and the system seems to hang quite a bit. However, the computer runs farcry 2 quite exceptionally.
I was wondering this computer stays on all the time. I just put a new hard drive in and put the operating system on with the recovery cds. everything works great except for one problem. now 2 or 3 or 4 times a day when you use the computer, and no matter what you leave on when you walk away, like word or a site on the internet whatevert it may be and when you come back the screen is black and the error box that says no signal is on the screen. I made sure the graphics card has the newest driver, and the monitor is pretty new flat screen and always work well. I changed the monitor cable since it was saying no signal I figured it really had to be one of two things, either the monitor cable or the graphics card. My question is do you agree and will a graphics card do that when it is going out? will it work ok when you start the computer and then after awhile get no signal?
