    Hello, once upon a time I was a geek. I could fix my commodore 64 or my PC 486 just fine.
    Now a days I can't even install my video drivers without some help.
    This is my problem:

    I have an asrock motherboard, (product info: P4I45gx_PE, socket FC-478, I don't know if this make any sense). I have a Pentium 4 and I am using windows xp, (version 5.1.2600).-
    As a I am no longer a certified geek when my computer broke down I sent it to a technician who fixed it by reinstalling everything but not my video drivers.
    The video card simply is not working, I have tried unistalling it and actualize the controller but the message is always the same, "error in the software".
    I wonder if the problem are my drivers, (or the cd where they are), so I also wonder if someone could provide a link to one to download.
    Thanks for your help in advance.-

    Not an easy motherboard to trace at ASrock for some reason, found many as site thats either in Korean or Spanish, two languages I dont speak!

    One question tho, do you have an actual AGP add on card or is the graphics controlled via on-board graphics on the motherboard?

    if onboard I could take an educated stab at it being Intel Extreme Graphics as ASRock do tend to use that in their onboard solutions and a possible ( closest I have found )is the XP one here http://www.asrock.com/support/Download/dl_p4i45glv.htm

    if you have an add on card then you'd need to tell us if its one of the main contenders in ATi or Nvidia?

    Thanks Halo, I am downloading the file right know. I'll let you know if it works, anyway you have been most kind.
    To answer your question I have an on-board card. I am planning to buy good vide card in the holidays because If I buy one now I will be probably laid off, there are so many great games to play!!!
