[Marsden 1st MRB]

We had to completely un-install our graphics card driver completely because for some reason it was wiggin out (probably corrupted seeming as to my grandparents don't understand the concept of updating e.e) now i can't re-install it because i don't have the installation cd and i can't download the drivers because it says i dont have that graphics card installed and so now im just fucked over. please help T.T

Make sure you downloaded the right card's drivers. Other than that I am spacing out on any helpful information ATM, I'll try again tomorrow.

Step 1:

You can download any drivers for anything without having the thing plugged in, so I don't know why you are saying you can't.

nVidia Drivers

ATI drivers

Make sure that

A: You are downloading the drivers for your card.

B: They work with your Operating System.

DO NOT INSTALL THEM YET! Just download them to your desktop and leave them there until we finish Step 2.

Step 2:

Make sure the old drivers are completely gone. Do this by downloading Driver Sweeper and following the directions.

It will probably ask you to reboot after it finishes, if it doesn't, then reboot anyways.

Step 3:

On restart, Windows will automatically install stock drivers for your card, let it do that. You don't need to delete these drivers. When it finishes and tells you the device is ready to use, update the driver with the one you downloaded to your desktop.

Step 4:

Restart your PC.

Step 5:

Send me $100.00 via paypal for IT support.

Also once you have found the driver for you system, sometimes the newer driver versions are buggy, and unstable. I suggest that you find an older version of the driver, install it and see if all works well. Then install the latest, and if things go bad, just roll back to the older, more stable one.

Tried all of the above, still won't install the drivers. automatically or manually, the support aspects of the driver installed (media thingy and dvd/cd decoder) but the drivers themselves refuse to install. the card i have is the ATI Radeon Express 1100 which is a discontinued card as are its drivers

tried dlin from a diff point on the site and it looks like its gonna work. i really hope it does lol

FIXDED IT!! Stoked now lol
