Some Messed Up Sh!t

compnerd · 10-October-03, 01:41 PM

Alright, so i was messing around with my sound card trying to get the line-in to work right, so i took it out and put it back in thinking it might try to reinstall stuff... that didnt work really and then for some odd reason my monitor got stuck in 800X600.

right now if i go and click display properties it says default monitor on __________. ive reinstalled the drivers like 10X over trying to get it to work but all to no avail. any suggestions?

btw i have a gainward gf fx 5200

Load the standard PCI video driver, reboot, then load the correct one.

compnerd · 10-October-03, 02:43 PM

how does one do that when there isnt even a display adapters thing on the device manager... and the display properties "change driver" feature isnt accessible?

............wow thats wierd. Ummmm.........id goto device manager right click on your video card and click delete or uninstall then reboot and it will detect it. Also see if you nudged the video card out of place a tad when putting your sound card in and out.

compnerd · 10-October-03, 04:15 PM

maybe this will explain my device manager woes some...

there is supposed to be a display adapter thing isnt there?

mot19 · 10-October-03, 04:17 PM

wow, hat is messed up. I found the solution though. Sytem restore a day before you messed it up

compnerd · 10-October-03, 04:21 PM

i shall try...:-\

compnerd · 10-October-03, 04:26 PM

lol, so... i tried to do that whole system restore deal, but i had recently done a repair thing from the xp disk and i guess the only restore point i had was after things got mesed up

think doing a system repair may help things?

Looks like you have an IRQ conflict. See which one the RAID controller wants and see if you can assign it a different one.

Slider · 10-October-03, 05:35 PM

If you're not using your RAID, then just disable it in the BIOS.

compnerd · 10-October-03, 05:48 PM

ach, i dont see raid at all in the bios... does anyone think that doing an xp repair would help? if not i may give into the formatting demon

i have a msi k7n2g btw

Check your motherboards manual, it should tell you if there's a jumper if its not in the bios.

introduce your good old HDD to his long lost friend called format. format always wins but HDD comes back stronger and faster

compnerd · 12-October-03, 01:34 AM

lol, yea.... i gave into the format

now im burning it up again

Choose "reset configuration data" to yes in the BIOS, and that may help.

That is weird you video card adapter doesn't show up, even though Windows XP is suppose to eliminate IRQ conflicts. i've heard of video cards still wanting a certain IRQ number or they get flakey.
