This is what I found. If it doesn't work go into Safe Mode and uninstall them.

thank you for your very quick response .i am dowloading that file now but its gona take awhile with this connection.i found when i went to download it it wouldnt let me agree to download it .....i had a funny feeling and looked if i had direct x on here but all i found was setup.... i clicked on that and a screen with many options came up....i then tryed the dowload agreement again and it started dowloading....the direct x screen spoke about not having accsess to 256 colour.dont know if that means much but i hope this dowload works hehehe .thanks again....i'll let you know how it goes.oz.

[ozherb]

First, we need more information about your computer. Who is the manufacturer of the computer? Acer? Is there a model number somewhere on the case of the computer. Is the video built into the motherboard or is it a separate card that uses one of the PCI slots( agp). Can you take the side cover of and make a list of any lettering on the motherboatd that might give us a clue of the make of MB. You also might download SIW to see if it can identify the video chipset.

[SRX660]

You might try these.

From what i have read this is the PC Chips M754 L motherboard so you may be able to use these drivers.

the GFXPRO ide drivers

http://www.pcchipsus...d-mainframe.asp

Further down is the ALI 1647 Drivers for on-board video.

I am also reading something about using Nvidia TNT2 video drivers but think that is a long shot. If you do try them look in the archives for drivers older than the 71 series.
