| Re: Video Drive What makes you think you can't install it? What's happening? I mean, if you are viewing the monitor, there is SOME driver installed. |

| Re: Video Drive Did you just install this new video card? If so, you need to insert the disc that it came with. If not, and all of a sudden this message popped up, you need to goto your device manager and see if the video card has any kind of conflicts or if it says it's not functioning properly, otherwise, if none of the above occured, I wouldn't worry about it unless it KEEPS happening everything you turn the PC on. |

| Re: Video Drive You need to either take out your Video Card CD, or, if it's a Dell/Compaq/HP or any prebuilt system, take out the resource CD and try to reinstall the video card, but tell it to look on the CD. |

| Re: Video Drive Then you will need to find out what kinda video card it is. Is it an add-on, or are you using the one built into your motherboard? If it's the one built in to your motherboard, then you should be able to use the Windows XP (or whatever Op system you are using) CD, or if you have a CD for the motherboard itself, you can use that one. Otherwise, if you added the video card on, then you need to find out the manufacturer, i.e. NVidia, ATI, or whomever it is, and what model it is and goto their website and download the driver. |
