Title: I need a video controller driver
Post by: hushda24 on December 10, 2010, 12:11:27 PM
Hi all
In device manager under other devices is video controller (vga compatible)
Its in yellow and i click on properties i get this in it.

The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver.

It cant find drivers to reinstall.

I tryed loads of downloads and all want money to carry on fixing it.
Some say i need 7 updates ?

Any help please.

I am on windows xp home ed
and got a medion comp

Many thanks
hushda

Download it from the medion website. Go to Download Library under Customer Care and enter your serial number. Click on search and you will see your drivers there.

Thanks jj  ;D
I was being dumb  ???
Ok all done and downloaded and ran set up.
But the video controller is still in yellow in device manager.
So no change after installing that chipset.

You did not specify what Operating System you are using.  After you double click the chpsis_agp.exe, contained within the AGP Chipset Driver SiS are video drivers for Win98, Win2k, WinME, WinXP.  Navigate to the SiS AGP (1.17e)/AGP/Current/WinXX (whatever your OS is) directory.  Right-click the inf file & select install.  That will install the graphics driver for your OS.

Or navigate through the Device Manger and select the appropriate file

Is the video controller the only one with an error in device manager?

Did you recently reinstall XP?

Download Everest.
http://majorgeeks.com/download4181.html

Open it, click on Computer, then Summary.
In the upper menu, go to Report>Quick Report-Summary
Save it in a text file, and paste it in your next post.
Don't include anything under the line Debug - PCI

Yep the video controller is the only 1 in yellow in device manager.
Did i recently install a new windows.
Well heres the full story jj and computer commando.

A good year ago i got a nasty virus and ended up reinstalling windows.
All worked perfect,Untill my son started messing about with it.
So we ended up with losing the connection driver.
And also ended up with a second windows installed.
1 of the windows is in recovery mode and cant get it to finish the job.
So i use the second windows and couldnt connect to internet.
So a nice chap sent me a realtek 8139 lan card.
And the internet is all working now.
And now were at this stage where i need a video controller.
I hope the above helps chaps ?

I forgot to add this message in device manager which is now different to previous one .
This device is not configured correctly. (Code 1)

To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver.

I then do reinstall but wizard cant find software.

I done a google search and got this same problem by someone else with same computer.
In the end he got this post from someone helping him.........

go to Sis http://www.sis.com/download/

Win XP / IGP Graphic Driver / SiS 650 & SiS 740 series

try the UniVGA3 driver if that does not work try the UniVGA2



The VGA2 driver download appears to have sorted everything!




Now will this also solve my problem ?

If so can someone please put the download link up for that drive ?
