| 843820 | 2009-12-28 05:13:00 | I dont know they just had numbers but the internet and email is working what does the video card do? | prefect (6291) | ||
| 843821 | 2009-12-28 05:15:00 | Well the videocard drivers will let you configure whatever if you want to. If you cant get to the windowsupdate site, then it cant be online. install Java and adobe flash | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 843822 | 2009-12-28 05:20:00 | Why does everything work if the video card device manager has yellow tag? Thanks |

| 843823 | 2009-12-28 05:21:00 | It'll still work (theyre default drivers),but it'll be better if you install the right drivers for whatever the videocard is | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 843824 | 2009-12-28 06:10:00 | Should I take the sides off the computer and look for video card to get numbers? What do I look for Thanks |

| 843825 | 2009-12-28 06:14:00 | You look for a brand and model. You may have to turn the system off, it maybe under the card. You'll have to remove the card if its not onboard | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 843826 | 2009-12-28 08:14:00 | Should I take the sides off the computer and look for video card to get numbers? What do I look for Download and run Belarc. That should tell you the graphic card's details under the "Display" section. |

| 843827 | 2009-12-28 08:38:00 | Got 2 other problems on boot comes to black page gives 2 choices both say start xp press enter for top one and it continues has countdown and will start on that after 30 secs Is it something I did on the reinstall? Sounds a bit like the system is picking up two OS's - did you do a complete format of the drive and then install XP ? To fix that click start / run, type in msconfig click on BOOT.INI tab, there will be a button that says "check all boot paths" click that - IF one is not actually there it will ( from memory) offer to remove it - once removed you wont have the two options. |

Thanks for that foxy it showed model number although the drivers didnt work 1 crashes other comes up with warning one or more files that are required for installation are missing or corrupt. Cant find anything relating to video card on report other than display not detected.

Thanks for that wainui, on the general tab the start up is now selective from normal if I change it back to normal the original problem comes back. I dont mind doing another reinstall if that will correct the problem properly must have done something wrong on the partition step I think. :thanks |
