dreamz Veteran Posted January 10, 2005 Veteran Share Posted January 10, 2005 i don't get what you mean. are you in windows? if you are, then everything is working fine. did you install the drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincent Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 if you right click on desktop>properties>settings. and it says "default display" then windows is still seeing your vid card, or else you wont have a display at all. Just install the drivers from the nvidia homepage,reboot and your set. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogri Posted January 10, 2005 Author Share Posted January 10, 2005 it doesnt show any display adapter in hardware profiles at all. yet there is a picture onscreen. yes in windows. i can use the pc with no problems apart from games which show a dx9 problem but when i look dx9c is installed but no graphics card in hardware profiles.

vincent Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 ok google for an app called "driver cleaner" after installing that, run it, reboot, reinstall the Nvidia drivers, and then reboot. And just to poke my nose in the dark here but something doesnt seem right. What was the video card you had before this. and is this card ur installing now an upgrade?
