Hi... i am a total newb when it comes to technical stuff so please help me out..
When i got my laptop fixed i went to my friends dad... which was a real bad idea.. he charged me 400 dollars for a external cd drive.... and i my friend told me it was internal and he upgraded all these things.. which turned out false... He installed a korean windows on my computer and lately it was freezing.. so i chose to reformat it.. When i tried it seemed that my friends dad ruined my Formatting disks.. the ones that come wit the laptop and so i used my friends SP2 Proffesional..
But after reformatting i didnt know that i needed to install the drivers.. I asked alot of people but they told me that it comes with the CD.. BUT MY CD IS RUINED!! i started off from scratch.. and everytime i try to install a video driver an error keeps popping up saying that i need to install a VGA card..

SO this is what i did.. i downloaded and installed
i downloaded Realtek my sound driver and it works perfectly.. BUT THIS IS THE PROBLEM!! I CANT SEEM TO GET AROUND THE VIDEO DRIVER!! ARGH!
I spent 3 whole days trying to do this..





I downloaded an OMEGA driver that works perfectly but everytime i play a game or a video my computer freezes... and SOmetimes it goes white!! it just fades into white... argh its starting to freak me out... If anyone can help me please! I BEG YOU TO HELP ME!!

Hi there

The notes show errors.
Here are the Omega drivers you need: http://www.omegadrivers.net/ati/win2k_xp.php

After that run those tests in dxdiag (3D, draw, sound, video etc) and look for warnings: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/190900

Let us know how it goes.

hello thnks for replying so soon.. ummm.. i have downloaded it alredy and installed it.. and still it keeps freezing when i play movies or games XD is there something else...?? especially the fact that i dont have any DirectX features.. XD
could it be that i installed Professional while my old version was home????

Is this a legit copy of Windows XP Pro?

if you are asking if its from the actually windows CD then yes.. My friend bought it and lent it to me.

You mentioned you don't have any directx features?

Can you elaborate there please. Did you run the instructions I gave you using DirectX to test?

It is illegal to use a borrowed copy of XP to install on another computer.
