Title: Resinstalling a Graphics Driver
Post by: [TiG]the_syco on December 06, 2007, 02:23:07 AM

Can't seem to get meh 7800GT to work. See the full thread on what I've done so far here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=54589673

I don't want to do a reinstall of Windows, but meh, I'll try everything else till then.

Hi Syco,

Had a quick look and couldn't find any info on problems installing that driver, apart from a referenece to disabling antivirus software before attempting the install. No ideas here Syco sorry.

Download DriverCleaner and remove all drivers associated with the card, this will enable you to do a fresh install.  I had this working on Vista 32, so it should be fine.

Good luck

Cheers, but that failed when I tried it. I ended up doing a repair-install of XP, and was able to progress from there.
