Try going to your device manager and click on display adapters

 

[nastydru]

Remove the card

Look for it on there.
First go to sysdm/device manager/Display adapters.
But you really should have a cd then use website "update drivers "
Why don't you have a cd ?


Name your OS Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeze.

i lost the cd



and my system is windows xp profecional

 

[blim10]

yeah, you can always open up your case and take a look at the card there should be a label on the back of the card with it's name on it

 

[nastydru]

it only has a serial number

 

[blim10]

did you try the command prompt way?

Since it is radeon, please use this catalyst.

You need to look at radeon series.

Remove your entries where mine are shown,if it's not named.
as you stated above.
Restart your PC and XP should show
Windows detects new hardware.Don't stop it.
I got this help from Microsoft Tech support to solve my problem.
But you still need the drivers for it.
