OK,
You can still post the shots, but if you can't go to both and tell me what it says for Display Adapter.
Thanks,
Bill

Lets try a manual install of the driver.
Extract the driver from my previos post to a folder (name the folder so you know what and where it is).

On the settings tab click on Advance>Adapter.
You should have a choice of changing the adapter or updating driver (or simular).
Browse to search for the adapter and direct it to the folder you made.
Thanks,
Bill

I didn`t really understood that,so could you send it with screenshots step for step?

hitech · 10-13-2008, 09:28 AM

would you post a screen shot of after you go to control panel/system/hardware/Device manager/view/show hidden devices?

**BCCOMP** · 10-13-2008, 09:41 AM

When you downloaded the drivers on post #16 did you run the program (click on the file you downloaded) or just downloaded it to the desktop?

Niklas T. · 10-13-2008, 10:26 AM

Ye, i did both

hitech · 10-13-2008, 10:47 AM

ok, are there any yellow exclamation marks in device manager? the normal installion in windows 2000 is service pack 4 then chipset first then video, audio, modem, ethernet controller etc. then update internet explorer to 6sp1. I assume that you are downloading in Finnish.

Niklas T. · 10-13-2008, 11:17 AM

Now i didn`t really understand?

hitech · 10-13-2008, 11:31 AM

Niklas T. · 10-13-2008, 11:53 AM
