ANYWAY, if you can get on the internet, try to find both the motherboard and video drivers for your system. Or, you could go into device manager, select the video adapter and try to update the adapter using windows update service. Sometimes that works.

For some video CARDS it is done this way. Go into the device manager and remove the VGA device. The system will still run with it gone! If the driver software has a Setup, run it. Other wise go into add new hardware and insist that you have the disk and do not let Windows install a driver. You then give the location of the folder that has the proper INF or whatever it is.
