Hi,
I have a radeon graphics card, I think it says 3600 but will look inside again and make sure.
This is from a 2004 ish custom built computer.
It worked fine with XP and I used it on my tv and my monitor, at the same time.
I am new to why hardware works and doesn't work but can open this up to answer any questions.
As soon as I installed vista, the 32 home vista program.
As soon as I did that it no longer thinks I have the AGI card.
I downloaded the software and tried to uninstall and reinstall about 4 times.
It appears to be installing correctly but then vista says I only have a standard video card.
I have read a few forums and do not understand where to find these areas that I can change these settings that are mentioned as fixes for this error.
I have looked and spent about 12 hours trying.
I have given up but my son wants to play his game again and we can no longer use two monitors, so we can't watch things on tv like we used to which is a big bummer.
The builder hates vista and said don't install vista so i am not going to beg him for help yet.
If someone can take some time, I won't rush you, I just need some plain simple language help.
I open it, clean out the dust, have changed hard drives, helped others unfreeze their software, unfreeze my own, but...
I haven't played with bios or much else than I mentioned.
Thanks in advance and I appreciate it, Destalee
PS - I can call and try to walk through things that way too.
