Urgent help with display drive!!!

[Faggisman]

To put it simply i dont have one. Viruses attacked our computer and graphics card i think? so we reinstalled windows and now i cant play games... IT SUCKS i have indentified the problem, As i said before we dont have a display, driver i uninstalled the nvidia one and then installed the one we from a download but it said there is no compatible hardware on your computer so now i got nothing not even the default drive. It doesnt recognize our graphics card which is probably why it says no compatible harware.

I just want to play my games.. can anyone help me with this please???

when you reinstalled windows did you reinstall your motheboard drivers? also in device manager are there any dvices showing a yellow question mark or a yellow triangle next to them?

 

[Faggisman]

no question marks or triangles but you probably nailed it with the first one just one problem how do you do that??? also this probably isnt that good

your motherboard should have come with a Cd containing the drivers needed for your board. if not, you can go to the makers website and download the drivers for your motherboard.

If you are uncertain of the make and model of your Mobo download SIW and it will tell you.

Ok would the disk by any chance be VGA Drivers??? If it is do you still need to download the drivers from the website??? Because i cant make any thing out of the SIW... this is what I got when I clicked on motherboard...

Go to www.viaarena.com and download the VIA Hyperion Pro 4-in-1 drivers pack from here. Unzip it and run the exe file inside. That will install the motherboard drivers for u. As for ur video card, no there should be a separate CD with ur video card containing the drivers for it. Find out ur brand of video card and go to either
http://www.ati.com/support/driver.html for an ATI video card
or
http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp for an NVIDIA video card

I'm pretty sure this was my card nVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X but whenever i download it it says theres no compatible hardware and where do you find the VIA Hyperion Pro 4-in-1 drivers pack in that site??? sorry im not quite as fast as you guys

 

[Rage_3K_Moiz]

Well open the case up and see the brand of the card to make sure. As for ur motherboard drivers, get them here

[Faggisman]

no can do on the openin of the case its not my computer but that was my video card

 

[Faggisman]

i found the disk it has ucd via series mainboard ver:2.03 on it but it asks my mainboard model and i have no clue what it is

SIW and the video card

You can check the SIW --> Hardware --> PCI and see the real name of the video card (Class Type = VGA Controller). Check also the "Sub System Device Vendor/Name" for more info.
Thanks,
