basically when i try to reinstall the driver for it, it says "setup was unable to complete the installation. try to setup your display adapter with a standard VGA driver before running setup." how do i follow it's instructions? i'm sort of a newb when it comes to drivers.
err and my email is tplavelle[a]gmail.com, because i might not be checking this thread very often, although i will try. oh and it's specifically an ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 video card. specifically. and i suppose it might be helpful to state that i'm trying to update my drivers and such so that i can play WoW on my laptop, as opposed to using one of my family member's computers. --will give computer specs upon request-- Last edited by tpl2000; 02-02-2007 at 05:17 PM.

Check the ATI website for current drivers. If using current driver, you might try going back to the next earlier version.

if i try to install the newest driver and the like, it says i should try setting up a standard vga driver first. i'm not sure in the least how to do this. Also, i've found 2 files that have vga in them that i think might be helpful. (vga.dll and VGA.SYS.) right now the driver i'm using is ati2dvag.dll, if that helps at all.

Is that for a DELL laptop?, Then you got to use DELL drivers which you still can get.

it's a compaq evo n1000c, and my uncle gave it to me; he works in i.t. Or, in other words, i don't have any of the original disks whatsoever.

Get the driver from Compaq which is now HP... We have that model at work, but they are going to trash (well I can't get my hands on one) Surplus guy comes in a truck and picks them up...

Yes, bumps are allowed, but only after at least 24 hours have elapsed without a reply. Not after only a few minutes. I.E You posted in this thread yesterday at 10:27 PM which was fine. You then posted again and again and again etc at these times. 11:14 PM/12:12 AM/12:28 AM/02:09 AM. This is not fine. That`s why I deleted your posts.

ok, thanks. i'm used to bumping every few minutes on other forums or my thread will disappear, but then again that raises another question. in order to prevent this thread from disappearing before i get a result, how often should i post? or does it not disappear at all, but instead go to some sort of archive for the help of future/current members?
