Windows will not detect my graphic card.

You see, I had a problem with my computer not so long ago. I had downloaded Service Pack 3 and it said my XP copy wasn't genuine, and I had found a way to go online to websites and play the online games I have downloaded. But that isn't the problem. During that event, I had discovered a way to go to Add/Remove programs and got rid of Service pack 3.

When I did that, I tried to go play my online games and it wouldn't detect my graphic card (VIA/S3G Unichrome Pro IGP, as I remember). I checked device manager and I did not see display adapters and graphic cards (If there is a section for 'em). Then, I checked Display Properties and it didn't tell me what my display/graphic driver was.

Basically, the title tells a simple version of my post.
So... help me please.

First, go to Windows Update and install all the updates available (except for SP3); check the optional hardware updates too. The link will be on the left side of the update page. Also, visit your motherboard or PC maker's web site and download and install your chipset drivers/software. Make sure you're running SP2. You can download it as an .EXE file from Microsoft using this link. If you have SP2, maybe try re-installing it. It could be that when SP3 was removed, it took some needed system files with it. You can also try running the system file checker; more info here. Put your XP disc in the CD drive before starting the system file checker. You can also simply do a repair install of Windows. A good how-to with screen shots can be seen here.
Good luck! Keep us posted!
