after specific i have 2 options:Search for the best drivers in these locations----then within that i have to check "search removable floppy"---or, include this location in your search, which is where the browse button isORDont search.. I will choose the driver to install. Choose this option to select a driver from a list., etc.

Close the wizard and go to your desktop (if thats where the new driver is located ) and just double click on it, it will self install, then you will be prompted to re-boot

They say that about everything

[rgreen4]

Continue. Again if there are problems, we can always roll back.

Did you set a restore point manually before you started this driver installation?

[Tbird24]

^^ i dont know what that means. so probably not.i just restarted. everything seems fine, but i think my display is still off. the icons are MEGA big. i think i have to go to properties and change the resolution. lets see if this works.is there anything else i need to do? and what should i do with the icon on my desktop? i dont want it on my desktop anymore.EDIT: what screen resolution should i do. im on 80x600 right now. it can go up to 1280x1024

[spike]

You can set your resoultion to whatever you like, and move the driver to my doc's or anywhere. Let us know if this fixes your problem.

Wide Screen monitor or Standard?

[spike]

What size monitor do you have

[mphenterprises]

Hi Everyone. "MPH has gone MIA" LOL I like that one. :lol: Nope, I had a client call me up with a computer emergency so I had to take care of that. It looks like you have been in GREAT hands.Spike, absolutely way to go on that self installer....I completely forgot about that one.TBird, has anything spiked since you reinstalled the drivers?

[spike]

................And PLEASE, run a De-frag, ASAP This would actually be a really good test to see if all is well.

[spike]

...........WOW, the suspence is killin' me..........LOL :lol:

I have like a 21 inch standard monitor. i mean it isnt widescreen so i think its standardand drumroll please................................no spikes so far!but a question about the driver. i have an icon in my toolbar thing next to the time. it has a bunch of settings like screen resolution, screen refresh rate, color quality, performance and quality settings, custom color settings, rotation settings, color correction, etc. what options should i choose.EDIT: and why a defrag, im just curious?

You can choose any option that suits your needs.> {quote:title=Tbird24 wrote:}{quote}and why a defrag, im just curious?Your hard drive constantly collects and stores data within different sectors. Defragmentation (not a real word) :-) basically restructures the sectors and cleans up the hard drive. You should normally do a Defrag once a month. Spike is correct, that would be a great test for your new drivers.See!!! Arent't you glad you didn't give up? How do you feel knowing you fixed a very annoying problem?

After all the mess you have gone through, and new driver installation, a defrag is a MUST, and AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH, if this isn't common knowledge, it should be, like breathing.
