Solve : Video settings.? |
|
Answer» Hi, first off if I posted this in the wrong section I'm sorry. What did you use to reinstall Vista (recovery partition, recovery/restore DVD, Microsoft Retail Install DVD, OEM Install DVD) ? Let me try to explain everything from the start. I recieved the used computer from a friend, it worked fine for awhile but I got a key logger >< (stupid me). Anyways, I heard the only way to get rid of it was to wipe and reinstall vista from scratch. So I used a burnt disc that my friend sent with the computer and did just that. I want to call it restoring or formatting but to be honest I'm sure exactly which it was. I put the disc in and followed the directions, in the end my computer was like completely new. None of my old files or anything. I went through device manager and only thing that didn't have a driver was the sound card so I installed that with the disc. Then later on I upgraded my video card to the newest driver from Nvidia website. That's about it really, I didn't touch anything else or change any settings else where. Before I formatted/restored I would easily get 20+ fps on any game and since then I never get higher then 7 fps. I did try to find a driver for my monitor, though I'm not sure if there is one. Only thing I found that I thought was the driver said it's not for Vista, which is what I have, so I never installed it. Again, if any more information is needed, please ask and tell me where I can find it and I'll be glad to search for it, I CHECK back here regularly. Thanks again for any help, it's driving me crazy Quote from: nixxo on October 22, 2009, 04:55:13 AM I recieved the used computer from a friend, it worked fine for awhile but I got a key logger >< (stupid me).

None of my old files or anything. Perhaps your "friend" knows what kind of disc you have (recovery/restore DVD, Microsoft Retail Install DVD, OEM Install DVD) ? Also what service pack level is the disc at (or your current system) ? Is this a brand name computer (e.g. Dell, HP, Gateway, ...) or a custom build ? Is there supposed to be a separate motherboard drivers disc ?Unforutnately I can't get a hold of my friend at the moment, she lives acrossed the country and is unreachable. As for the disc I put it in my system and tried to see if it had a name or anything but it doesn't. When I run it the first window asks to install WIndows Vista so I assume installation disc of some sort. Edit: The burnt disc is actually a DVD +R, so it's a dvd not a cd. Orginally the system is Service pack 1, as we speak Vista is installing Service pack 2. As far as I know about the computer, it isn't custom built, just has new Video card and ram installed. The computer is a Sony VAIO and the OS is Windows Vista Ultimate. Hope that answered everything, it's the best that I know at this point in time. Anything else, please ask and I'll do my best to answer. If it's something I can find on my own, if possible say how to locate it, so I don't either get CONFUSED or give the wrong information.Just wanted to say I found the problem. I feel pretty stupid but it had nothing to do with my computer but some settings I had in a few games >< Thanks for those who tried to help. |
