Hey everyone. Just recently I have been messing around with some files on my pc, trying to find a specific driver updater-program that was giving me some trouble. I went into add or remove programs, selected "NVIDIA Drivers" (I'm using a basic Nvidia graphics card), and removed it, thinking that it was this driver updater program. A minute or so later, my whole graphics went into something like a 16 bit mode. Really weird and glitchy looking. I rebooted, and all of my graphics looked fine and normal. (Although when I moved my windows around, they chopped around as if I was running in safe-mode) I opened up 'system properties' and speccy (http://www.piriform.com/speccy). System properties told me I had no graphics card, and speccy told me my graphics card was my monitor(?). The specs from Speccy are below:
Graphics
Monitor
Name on
Current Resolution 1024x768 pixels
Work Resolution 1024x734 pixels
State enabled, primary
Monitor Width 1024
Monitor Height 768
Monitor Bpp 32 bits per pixel
Monitor Frequency 1 Hz
Device \\.\DISPLAY1
(Also, just to test to see if my computer was using my graphics card or not, I opened up counter strike and ran it. It told me that 'The specified video mode is not supported') So, I went back to add/remove programs, clicked on 'NVIDIA drivers', and attempted to open the driver program. When I did, the program flashed for half a second and then vanished... So right now I'm kinda stumped as how to re-enable my graphics card and
fit it with its drivers :( any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
