Video card question

[Lokalaskurar]

Excellent

Mark56's suggestion is just what you need! Excellent!

In order to identify your card's name so that we can find some drivers for it, you need to force the PC into revealing the card's name. The Microsoft article does just that!

If you need help with the command prompt, also called CMD, we'll provide you with everything you need to know.

Remember: you can not copy the text from the command prompt. Windows does not allow it without a third-party patch. But, you can screendump/capture the screen using the "PrintScreen-button" on your keyboard. The results coming from that command prompt-solution would be interesting to study.

In other words, do you think you can post a screenshot/screendump/captured screen of the prompt's results on TechSpot for us to study? As you see in the Microsoft-page, identifying the card is pretty straight forward, but can be a bit intimidating for someone who is not familiar with the CMD.

We love to help

You guys are such a big help I appreciate the patience youve had with this. But anyways here is the printscreen image of the command prompt

MarZePan, look again at the MS article - you sure this was all what the prompt said? I've been looking at some other prompt reports, and usually the card identifies at the ninth row (C000:0009), and the screenshot covers eight rows.

Plan B: The hard way
If there are no more than eight rows we will probably have to identify the card the hard way (in other words, by looking inside the PC).

Plan C: The brutal approach
Fortunently, the brutal approach of finding drivers are not as hard as previously expected. There is a Plan C - trying to install a driverpack after another driverpack after another driverpack... Since (for instance) AMD/ATi have released huge driverpacks (Catalyst) and nVidia have released huge packs as well (nToolpack) containing many drivers at a time. Some of them has to be right!

sometimes the hard way is the easiest way out...I say JUST GUT YOUR PC and take a clear picture of the bar code lable on your graphics card for us =P Lol....

 

[Lokalaskurar]

Well actually, skip my latest post and just gut the PC. It seems to be the best approach as of this moment. Provided you don't void your warranty of course...

Hey guys i made i minor break through and found that my graphics card says this, "VT 2400PRO AGP 512MB V/D/T", under that it says "PN: 24P512AGPV", and under that its says, "Made in China PCB#R61BG-NE3". Post asap if that isnt enough information i really feel like this is the right thing

Yay! This might just be it you know.

Try downloading and installing the Catalyst Software Suite.

Although this is if you have a win XP32 OS.

If trouble arises, go to http://www.ati.amd.com. There is a "Driver download" part to the right, which is very easy to comprehend.

I think you have a "HD Series" card.
Model 2xxx-brand. (2400Pro)

 

[Mark56]

That card is from Visiontek. The exact driver Is available from here, just select the HD 2000 series AGP in the list and then your operating system and you will get the correct driver. Save it to your desktop, it is an .exe file so just double click on it and it will automatically install.
