name: Nvida geforce fx go5200

version: 6.14.0010.6742 (english)

anny thing els?

 

[Thothie]

Hmmm... The graphics drivers are dated, but other than that... :|

Ye can try to get new graphic drivers at Nvidia and see if that does it.

 

[greyfox]

I tried but couldnt even install it.

 

[Thothie]

You can't install graphic drivers for your card? :| That is, not good.

...are you on a guest login?

 

[greyfox]

no there was an error about compatabilaty, (i think its spelled like that)
so ya....

 

[Thothie]

"Compatibility", in other words, it says the drivers aren't for your card. Which is very odd, as it suggests the drivers already installed on your card do not belong to it.... er something. I r confuzored as to how that is possible. Anyone else?

See if there are old video card drivers which you can uninstall.

 

[greyfox]

nope none, oh wel...

Try going to http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp and acquiring the "FX Series" Drivers, or ones relevant to your Card. Thats my two cents.

 

[Thothie]

Tis where I sent him, he gets compatibility error, suggesting he does not have the graphics card he says he has. :\

 

[greyfox]

Well that is it but i think i will try reinstall.

neaver mind didnt work the 4 times i tried.
