Sometimes files in System 32 stay in place as do strings in the Regedit which could cause problems.
Try Driver Sweeper or and Driver Cleaner Pro to make sure those files and strings get deleted but before you do that uninstall the Hardware in the Device Manager, reboot and startup in Safe Mode, then run the proggies one at a time.
(Driver Cleaner Pro is a slow process which takes forever... Might want to let it do it's thing over night).
hen Reboot,
After all the cleaning restart XP and do not let XP auto detect "New Hardware".
Install the latest drivers.

you shouldn't EVER have to install drivers in safe mode. if so then there is more problems then just the drivers. you may have to wipe the hard drive completely. do a FULL FORMAT not that quick bull**** that doesn't do the job that full format does. and reinstall windows, install video drivers first, then motherboard drivers, then sound drivers, then proced to update windows. install SP1, then SP2, then SP3
uninstall old drivers, DON'T REBOOT, run drive cleaner pro, should only take a minute or so.
Reboot system, when it says found new hardware, you can then tell it to install drivers from specific location. i've done this with no problems. otherwise cancel that out.
install downloaded drivers from link i put up, reboot. adjust settings
if its still causing you problems then idk what to say. i've never had a single problem installing new video cards ever. |
I totaly agree,the only step you left out I belive is to 1st step remove drivers from the "add remove program"..I never have a problem either.. |
I never said to install in safe mode... just run the proggies (Driver Sweeper & Driver cleaner Pro), after that you reboot and stop XP finding the new hardware then install the video card drivers.
Sorry if this wasn't clear enough!
