HELP! Stuck on Standard VGA Graphics Adapter

OK, many thanks again!

Still no luck... All 133 updates installed without any error, well actually there was 1, but I restarted the computer and tried again and it worked that time.

It seemed like the link installed correctly, even when I went and reinstalled it there was a message at the bottom saying the driver was up to date.

OK, I'll see if I can find a star screwdriver anywhere. I don't think I have any, but I'll look and ask around.

But on the HP website it does mention that the Raedon card supports VGA,

2 - DVI (single-link)*
* VGA is available using DVI-to-VGA adapter

Thinking about that, it seems like that's how it should be... But I haven't changed the monitor either, from when it was working to now. I am going to try a different monitor with a DVI output though.
