Solve : Uninstalled mobo vid driver, need reinstall.?

Answer»

Hardware: Mobo-Jetway HA06
                     video- ATI 3200 built-in
                 Vid Card- ATI 4670
 
I uninstalled my motherboard's video driver, because installing my new video card didn't seem fond of me keeping it, but now,I try to run the CD that has my mobo's driver on it, and it says "Setup did not find a driver compatible with your current hardware or operating system. Setup will now exit." I've also scanned plug and play on my display adapters through MMC, and it doesn't pick up my motherboard's display either, I currently have a monitor plugged into it, it's just blank, although I don't believe that affects anything. I'm going to check BIOS after this post, I was just wondering if there is a simple solution to this, since windows isn't picking up the missing hardware at all.Are you trying use the onboard graphics and the add-on graphics adapters simultaneously?  If YES, that's your problem.  On most computers, it's ONE or the other, but not both.Well, that is my exact problem. How would you tell if you could run both of them? I doubt it'll be worth the trouble, but no point in not trying to find out. Quote from: hobogunner on September 07, 2010, 06:02:30 PM

1.  Well, that is my exact problem.
2.  How would you tell if you could run both of them?
3.  I doubt it'll be worth the trouble, but no point in not trying to find out.
1.  I thought it was, now I know.
2.  You wouldn't be getting the error message.
3.  Your original post indicated you tried it and it doesn't work.  BIOS doesn't allow simultaneous operation.Okay, I understand that. But, I don't THINK I fully understand the train of command here. Does your motherboard still use it's north BRIDGE for the Video Card data? I mean, computers with graphics on board have a graphics chipset on them, but do video cards even use the chipset on the mobo? I might be thinking down too many layers for this, but I don't understand, if a video card doesn't require use of the north bridge, why you can't run two video feeds.

Yes

The chipset provides an extension of the address bus and data bus to the expansion slot(s) and thus to any expansion card in those slots. When you plug your video card into the expansion slot, it functions just as if it were built into the motherboard.
