DaveXP Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 do you have a second Hard drive or some kind of removeable media device if so back up your data before doing thing to the PC.
un4given1 Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 I would attempt to reinstall the video drivers. I would also verify that the video card is not loose. Start there. Let me know what you come up with.
AlmondScar Posted October 13, 2003 Author Posted October 13, 2003 yes i have a removable media test with AVG.I dont have a second h/dand i only done a sys restore like...2 weeks ago and i havnt had chance to backit up yet
XPerties Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 Update your monitor driver and video card. Simple as that.
AlmondScar Posted October 13, 2003 Author Posted October 13, 2003 but it was working fine an hour ago!to be honest i have no idea where to find that.i am a complete newbie when it comes to hardware.eep o_Oi just need to get rid of this hardwar it installed on startup...then ill be rid.
un4given1 Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 A program would not install "hardware" You just need to update your video drivers most likely.
AlmondScar Posted October 13, 2003 Author Posted October 13, 2003 ok, i know for sure its the graphics card...or whatever it is.nows the fun re-installing it part.how do i do that... ?
KonuS Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 Maybe try this "scanreg /restore" at the command prompt and restore system config before this program was installed.I think it should help.
gosh Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 If that doesn't work you can rebuild the windows driver database.In safe mode delete drvidx.bin and drvdata.bin, then restart.-gosh
