    Hi Peeps,

    I'm having problems with my display driver after my Dad(euthanasia is a good idea) used the REPAIR option on win XP disc (when you get option to reinstall or repair).

    this made my monitor go like wavy water every time you scroll or move a object,

    OK, time to reinstall the display driver, so I try the automatic install from the disc, it tells me setup cannot install, it tells me I need to install a standard VGA driver first.

    so I follow the intructions for a manual install as below

    installation instructions
    -------------------------
    1. These drivers must be installed by a user with Windows 2000/XP Administrator
    privileges. Please consult your system administrator or Microsoft
    Windows 2000/XP User's Manual for more information on Administrator
    privileges.

    2. Start Microsoft Windows 2000/XP.

    3. From the Start menu, select Settings.

    4. Select Control Panel.

    5. Select System.

    6. Select Device Manager.

    7. Under Display adapters, select the name of the NVIDIA adapter you have
    installed. If you do not see a Display adapters option, or if your NVIDIA
    adapter is not listed, under Other Devices, select Video Controller (VGA
    Compatible).

    I do not have the Display Adapters or Other Devices option
    is my only option to completely reinstall windows?



    my specs are,
    Win XP Pro
    Asus radeon 9200se graphics card
    PC is a Novatech 2700 with foxcom 400MO1 Motherboard
