I did (more then once) do a system restore. Same thing happens once i get the internet going.

The person that gave this to me kept having trouble and he didn't have a firewall or virus scan on it. That is why when i first got it i did the restore to factory. But did no good.

Ok I meant for you to make a restore point NOW so any changes we do can get us back to where we are if need be.
1) Do you have the ME disc ?
2) Make a current restore point.
3) Download this driver (read the link on the side driver installation hints)
Install the new driver and reboot.

Do you have the windows cab files on your computer?
Go to search and put in *.cab Normal place is under c:\windows\options

[llwgirl]

There are the ones listed under "cabinet files" Is this what you mean?

[peterm]

yes
ok the only step I can think of now is since you made a restore point
go to my computer right click go to propertities then device manager
find the display card Video Adapter nVIDIA Vanta LT click on it then click on remove then reboot and lets see if windows picks it up

[llwgirl]

Ok, did that. When the computer started back up it said had to find hardward and it loaded the NVIDIA VANTA.

then went my desktop came up a error popped up......

ERROR LOADING
C:\\Windows\system\nvCpl.dll
The system cannot find the file Specified

[llwgirl]

After downloading the other one the black frame around the edge seemed to be alittle bigger. still is on one side.

[peterm]

if not then go here and download it
Missing Dll
it has a big click here

[peterm]

If you can't find the file with Search then download and unzip it
to C:\windows\system
