welcome to the forum
reinstall your video drivers

 

[rossai]

Thanks DAI I tried this by going to add hardware but it still didn't fix the problem. I done have the install disk, so is there anywhere I could go to try something else thanks.
My montitor is a samsung model syncmaster 17GLi

 

[dai]

delete the card from the device manager,reboot in safe mode and install the drivers when windows finishes booting

I tried this and nothings changed

Hello:

Your monitor should have nothing to do with it, actually.

What you need to know is the name and model of your video adaptor. Then you need to find and install the video drivers.

I'm having trouble finding a video adapter. I've been to ATI Tech and they don't even list it. here's my model number:
Graphic Pro Turbo
Chip type: Mach64gx Rev F
Dac type: ATI68860 Rev C
Do you know where I could get a upgrade or something else that I could use?Thanks

There seems to be various models of the Pro Turbo adapter so selecting the correct drivers can be problematic. Are there any other letters with the adapter name, ie. "2c"?

You can try the link below to select a driver package of your choice:

Well, we have to find out what model you have so we can find the proper drivers.

Try this: dowload Aida32 Install it then doubleclick the Display Icon, then Windows Video. See if it lists your adapter.

 

[rossai]

sorry for the delay, I downloaded aida 32 and it shows that I have the new driver RAGE PRO TURBO PCI (English)

 

[dai]

HI DAI, do you figure I still have the wrong driver?
After I downloaded this aida 32, I went looking and on the motherboard chip set it says agp is disabled this may cause proformance penalty.
does this have anything to do with it

 

[dai]

after installing the driver did you set it up in display properties,
agp would be disabled if you are using a pci card

 

[pyritechips]

I have made a mistake.

when I read your adapter model I assumed it was AGP but now I see it is a PCI.

I found a pro turbo pci driver and am hosting it on my own site, for your ease of downloading. Just click the link below:

Sorry for the confusion! I hope this is the right one.
