Solved HELP! Stuck on Standard VGA Graphics Adapter

[Maty]

OK, many thanks again!

The Link is below Try this one if Windows fails to find the Driver .. Make sure you have NET4 Framework. Installed the Link for that is on the bottom of the Page ...

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. However when the installation finishes, nothing happens. There is no .exe anywhere, if it wasn't for the program being in control panel, I would have no idea it was installed.

What would happen if I disable the VGA Standard? Or if I install the driver manually? Like browse to the location of the file (I read about it, but don't know how to do).

Hi there ... I cannot figure out what is going on there .. So i am going to ask a friend to have a look at this Post as see if he can shed any light on it ... I really did think the Clean Install would have sorted the issue .. Sorry you have had all that bother for nothing ...

 

[Maty]

I would so too... It's not your fault, at least I got a fresh start now to work with. I just checked for updates, and found 14 new ones, so I'm going to keep trying keeping everything up to date and re-updating the graphics card or trying to recognize it.

I just found in the Personilization (when you right click on the desktop) that there is an error with the Aero theme and transparency. This error box,

It might be worth trying the other VGA port just to see what Windows would Display

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. Maybe I should mention that the monitor has a VGA output and Raedon card has a DVI input, there is a converter in between them. 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

 

[Maty]

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.

 

[maxie]

Its worth trying any thing

 

[Maty]

So after all of the updates were finished I checked for new updates, found a couple of ones. Restarted the computer and checked for updates again (when I accessed the update screen it said "your computer is up-to-date" and even had a green shield with a checkmark on it), so after checking for updates, it found 80 new important updates.... What's going on? I checked the history and only like 2 or 3 failed, the rest were successful.

Also on the update session before this 80 one, I saw the NET4 framework, the one you mentioned. So after it finished I tried the link you sent again and got the same error as before. I click "run anyways" and that's when I get the second error box. I even go through the AMD website and put all of the video card information again.

Quick question though, just to make sure (at this point I don't trust anything on this computer), when running Belarc, where should the video card information appear?

 

[maxie]

Hi there .. Under Display Adapter in the Device Manager .. But in your case it does not only shows as Standard VGA

Maty, please tell us all, the make and model of your video card.

I`m not gonna read 6 pages of posts.

And please fill out your specs.

 

[Maty]

Here is the Speecy, is this what you need AddRam?

Thanks for the Speccy report.

How is your monitor connected to your machine? Speccy tells me it is analog.
Monitor manual (PDF)

Adram was asking for you to update your system specs here on the forum, please follow the Easy System Specs link in my signature. Pleaase enter the makes and model of your machine manually in your forum profile - Thanks

 

[AddRAM]

OMG, I`ve never seen a Speccy result like that in my lifetime

Maty, that does not help us at all.

Once again, what is the make and model of your computer.

 

[Slartybart]

Maty,

Try uninstalling the Display adapter in Device manager until you get to the Microsoft VGA driver - answer yes to uninstall software if prompted.

You might have to "uninstall" it a few times depending on how many attempts you've made to install "new" drivers. The idea is to get to the base driver delivered by MS and then move up to the specific driver.

Speccy shows ATI Standard VGA driver, not MS Standard VGA driver. Worth a shot

I still want to see what the forum SIW tool tells us
