Windows 7 doesnt show my 8800 gt card hy
i cant install any drivers for my 8800 gt card
when i first put windows 7 it showed about 8 excamation mark in my device manager
it says like this:
This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system.
now i got it to show only one
but, whenever i tried to install driver for my card its says i dont have that hardware..
any solutions?
thx
Edit: apparently i dont have any graphic driver installed, i dont know how can i see someting on my monitor

Are you using that computer to acess the forum now? In other words, is your monitor getting a signal? If so, it should show the display adapter, regardless of what driver is installed. Since you apparently can see the Device Manager, I shall assume that it is on this computer, and not having any display adapter shown in the DM manager is very unusual. I would start by reseating the video card and rechecking it connections...power and video cable. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number DIY OS W7x64 Pro, SuSe 12.1/** W7 x64 Pro, XP MCE CPU Phenom II 1090T w/Noctua NH-D14 /**4400+ X2 w/CM Hyper TX 3 Motherboard ASRock 890FX Deluxe 4/**A8N-SLI Memory 2 x 2GB Patriot PGS34g1600LLKA/**4x1GB Corsair VS Graphics Card EVGA GTX460 SC/**EVGA 8800GTS Sound Card Asus Xonar D2X/**Xonar D1 Monitor(s) Displays Acer X233H, Dell E152FPc /**LG M237-WD Screen Resolution 1920x1080 & 1024x768/**1980x1080 Keyboard Logitech Media USB/**Saitek Eclipse Mouse Cordless Trackman Wheel/**Ditto PSU CM RS600 w/ APC BX1000G/**Antec 500 TP w/ APC BX1000 Case HAF922/**Antec 1040IIB Cooling 3x200mm, 1x140 and 1x120mm/**5x80mm fans Hard Drives WDC 2TB, 1.5TB, 1TB, 500GB,Seagate 500GB , Maxtor 80GB /**500GB Seagate & WDC 1TB Black Internet Speed 3.3Mbps Other Info SB 560 5.1 w/ Sennheiser RS140/**Creative T20 speakers, Dvico FusionHDTV7 Gold RT, Cisco E3000, HP 5510V AIO, Linksys E3000, Belkin F5U237 hub and **F5D8055 adapter

thx for reply
no i really cant see display under device manager, i can show you screen shot if you dont believe me 
i installed windows 7 today, before that i had xp where my graphic card normaly function, i didnt open up my computer
and i cant install any nvidia driver cause when i try it says i dont have any hardware for it..
i read somewhere else that native drivers that were installed for my graphic card can cause problems like seekermeister said. but i dont know how to uninstall them | My System Specs | | OS windows 7 CPU AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ 2.69 GHz Motherboard MCP 68 Memory 4,00 GB (3,25 GB usable) Graphics Card GF 8800 GT Monitor(s) Displays Samsung SyncMaster T220 Screen Resolution 1680 x 1050 |

ok, i think that maybe this is the problem
i couldnt install windows 7 at the begining cause i had some problems, so i figured out my problem in installing
i needed to disable APIC mode in bios, cause if its enabled i couldnt go past the starting windows screen
and now when i installed windows 7, i tried to enable APIC mode, but again i stuck at starting windows screen.
as i googled a lot of ppl said that disabling APIC mode affected their pci-e
so any suggestion now ?
edit: i found out that VgaSave conflicts with my pci-e, but i cant do anything cause if you disable it, you wont be able to go to windows no more (it messes up your booting of windows)

not that driver sweeper can remove it anyway (it can't access filerepository) Quote: i needed to disable APIC mode in bios, cause if its enabled i couldnt go past the starting windows screen

You are saying something that I haven't heard before...about filerepository. I Googled it, but the returns that I got were a mixed bag, that I'm not in the mood to sift through. Perhaps you could provide a link?
