Title: about display adapter
Post by: Rookie on February 17, 2006, 02:41:38 PM

First of all I'm not an experienced computer programmer ;)
My brother did a format C a few days ago and when I try to install the ATI display driver, then an error pops up: the display driver is not compatible with the display adapter(s) installed in your system.
So can anyone guide me step-by-step how to install it then. I know that I have to install a proper display adapter for ATI, but where and how:)

There are 2 things you need to know to get the correct video drivers.

1) The display adaptor. (Use Everest Ultimate trial edition to find this out)
2) Your Operating System.

2) Microsoft Windows XP professional

Remove the old drivers.
Install the new drivers & reboot.
