Wth dawedust did you need to post that...he's busy with apple pies anyway I believe so he wont be going to no forest

Niko, Easy way not to post. Get out of your room and go mack up some chicks. Look for anyone your age, ask her if she wants to go for a walk, and then take her to the forest and go "AND BY WALK, I MEANT SEX!!!" in a very over the top way. Remember to wear protection, and then go back home, and don't post about your sexual encounters.


Just format and re-install, easier and less work.

rolf. Great post

...whereas i would recommend Overclock.net if it's over my head because that forum seems to have NO section (or knowledge) of hardware

There is a whole freaking posting topic called "Hardware"

And they have helped my computer out on the most "" times !

How is 3 GB of music a :'( kind of event. I'd be royally pissed if I lost my 20 GB of music.

Quote from LFSn00b :

So i reformatted my computer, deleted everything this has, 3GB of music gone :'(


And now it works :|

That's way I always make a 20GB or so partition for the Windows and the remaining space for Linux Distroes, my documents etc. And then change Opera and Thunderbird profiles to non-windows partition. That way you don't lose that much data.

control panel/system/hardware and see if the gfx card is listed...if it is update driver and choose to update from location(where ever your driver is)

Why are you posting with two different usernames?

He has an identity crisis, he can't decide if he wants to be a noob, or a cracker. So he's decided to spam under 2 usernames to make his post count look smaller.

You know you spamed LFS forum too much when:

..you create another username to reduce your post count..

Sorry, i had to..

..... well I tried to on MSN and all i got was a load of verbal abuse....wouldnt even listen.....ignorant prick

Try my suggestion. And clean all the dust off the card/inside the case. And check the jumpers/bios

I'm not sure if I dare to write here. Anyway I would try this...

...if you haven't tried it already. IIIRC you can also see the card by clicking right mouse key over the desktop -> properties -> settings -> advanced -> adapter, even if your drivers aren't installed yet. In that adapter sheet there is the properties button which gives you the troubleshooting and driver install/rollback options.

If you cannot see the card and install the drivers I really have no ideas at the moment. Maybe the card is half dead?

Erf. Looks like you may need a new motherboard.

Quote from LFSn00b :

It's 'integrated' in the motherboard, so i am really confused at the moment.

Oh. I've never had an integrated gfx so not sure, but... I guess it belongs to motherboard stuff then. So what if you try re-installing all the mobo drivers from the mobo install disk?

Install yah motherboard drivers, they should have the integrated card drivers on there.

I told you so. "Re-install the mobo drivers". Well, good that it works now.

You can install the monitor drivers too or Windows might not show all the available resolutions correct. (It should say the monitor name like Viewsonic VA902 in the optimal case and list only those resolutions and frequencys compatible). If it is an older monitor Windows might have specs for it without giving it the monitor disk.

Glad it works.

2 bits of advice now:

1) CALM DOWN. Don't insult everyone who tries to help you

2) LFS IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD!
