Title: Setup Display with Standard VGA Driver - Video Card Installation Error
Post by: wandering_alice on August 31, 2011, 02:05:34 PM

I recently bought a video card and installed it into my computer. However, every time I try to install the software, I get this message:

Setup was unable to complete the installation.
Try to setup your display adapter with a standard VGA driver before running setup.

I'm completely confused because I'm using a standard VGA driver. Windows automatically installed it after I disabled my integrated graphics. ???

I can't figure this problem out and get the video card to work on my computer so any tips would be hugely appreciated.

Have you tried downloading the latest driver for the hardware, and use device manager to install it (go to update driver and click browse and point it to the folder)
