Ok first off I would like to explain to you guys what happened in the last topic. I am posting on behalf of my brother who posted in the other topic, and I would like to apologise for his actions.
Him waiting for me to get off of work to fix it plus his anxiousness to play a game he bought has caused him to snap at you guys. I guess he thought the CD detected the video card. I had a 5 minute chat with him and told him not to jump to conclusions and get mad at people who are giving out a free serivce.
Anyway I was working on the problem today and im still stumped on it. I will explain this in as much detail as I possibly can. I am trying to install drivers for my ati radeon 9800 pro. I keep getting a bunch of different errors.
When I try to install the catalyst drivers found on the ati/amd site, i get a error that I should install VGA drivers and try agian. When I try to install the omega drivers I get the same error. I tried to do force vga drivers opon the video card yesterday but a different error came up, maybe it was because I was in a rush and messed up. Ill try again .
I also tried cleaning my old drivers with some driver cleaning program, no luck. I also tried deleting the hardware from the devices tab in control panel and reinstalling, no luck. Ive tried installing it manually, using the find new hardware then searching for drivers, no luck (I got some "cant write files" error)
I think one problem may be that I still have onboard video card still running because I couldnt disable it in BIOS cause sony is gay
, so if all else fails i might force windows to somehow disown the onboard graphic card.
Ill try forcing vga again and once again I apologise for any hate that was shown by my brother earlier.
What really stumps me is I can see everything normal (colours are perfect) and the standard vga driver is installed, but it doesnt reconise any card. Its hard to explain so ill post the dxdiag log file. Heres what my display device shows as, and im sure its still connected because my monitor is connected to the slot of my ati card, not the onboard card

btw if you guys any ideas help will be appriciated, but if you dont want to help me I can understand that too. Time for me to try to fix this, and if i get any new info / i fix it ill post solution here
Update: restarted the pc in vga mode, tried installing drivers and it said "access is denied" so i think im gonna try to clear everything and try again, if everything fails time for a restore.
