today is not my day. to install a new driver, i uninstalled the windows xp service pack 2. then i installed the driver no problem. BUT..... my computer was stuck on the low 640x480 resolution and i couldnt see my start bar. so i thought "no problem, ill just reinstall the service pack and everything will be fine and dandy" well i was wrong. i reinstalled the service pack from microsoft and restarted my comp. now its still stuck in the 640x480 and i cant see the start bar to get to my computer. and when i right click the graphics settings bar wont open. im pretty scared i screwed up my comp. any help??? QUICK!!!!

Why would you uninstall SP2 to install a driver?

my computer wasnt allowing me to install the driver so online it told me to uninstall sp 2 and then install the driver and then reinstall sp2. my driver is the Intel 82865G card and a Radeon 7000 card

he probably uninstalled SP2 because it wasnt compatible?

**nosushi4you** · 11-05-2006, 02:36 PM

nevermind, i figured it out

it was something to do with uninstalling the drivers and then logging on the administrators account to reset it. i did it! thanks for your help everyone!!!!
