Graphics card wont install/User environment error message

The Fx · 08-01-2009, 11:38 AM

Theres a series of issues here, so I'll try and be blunt!

- I got some input error message about a month ago which I was told was video related and my pc wouldnt boot, even in safe mode. I ended up reinstalling windows and everything was fine.

- Now yesterday - my sound suddenly cut out, I was on the phone to tech guys and eventually reinstalled windows again.

- This time though, the sound is fine again but my graphics card wont install. It says it cant find the necessary software.

- Also, I'm getting a message on boot up about not being able to log on to my user account. I cant go into stand by or program files as well as other little nuisances. The message is titled "user environment". I've seen other topics about this on here but they were all being blocked out of their accounts, whereas when I go to log out, it says I'm logged into my account already(?). So I'm not sure if its the same.

I dont have a clue where to start

Can you post screenshots or perhaps explain it with more detail. Being blunt is useless to us because we need the bladed spikes to hook onto.

Hello FX,

Post the make/model of the PC? If this is a custom build then post the specs.

Did you format the HDD then reinstall Windows or a repair install?
