I have a ATI Radeon 9800 XT on my Windows XP and I was trying to update my graphics card drivers with the latest Omega drivers (which had a screwed up install or something missing the aticdxx.ini file) and it couldn't be uninstalled when the installed screwed up. So I deleted the thing, used Driver Cleaner and tried installing the ATI Catalyst 6.7.
Now, whichever drivers I try to install, I keep getting a failed installed and the error message "Try to set up your adapter with a standard VGA driver before running setup".
I tried to google a fix, none of it worked. I tried uninstalling the error-listed VGA adapter from the Device Manager and then running install which didn't work. Rebooting (with safe mode or without) after that also didn't work (it popped up with "New hardware found" after the reboot, but it couldn't find the proper drivers).
Reformatting isn't possible right now for me, and I'd rather not in any case. Someone here: https://www.techspot.com/vb/topic55154.html had the same problem but as far as I can see it wasn't resolved. I tried the older Catalyst 6.5 anyway also, but the same error pops up.
Windows Update doesn't help either and I can't find my Windows XP disc or my graphics card CD.
Anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this?
