Get Belarc http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

copy and paste the report ( not the Software Licence section, it gives Product codes) it should give clues to what you need, if you have a graphic card installed and no drivers this programe should list it http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/...entifier.shtml

Hope this helps

your ATI Graphic driver is listed

SET A SYSTEM RESTORE POINT BEFORE INSTALLING JUST IN CASE

Hello, my first post on this forum.
Anyway, I accidently uninstalled my Nvidia display driver and it deleted the entire display driver, so now I can't play any video games on the computer.
I have the same problem with vga controller. A windows update popped up for vga controller after deleting Nvidia, so I installed it but it gave me an error message. I ran belrac and it said it didn't detect a display driver on my computer.
Any help?

first do you have a System Restore Point you can use to go back to before you uninstalled the driver.
Second need to know which nVidia card Get Everest / copy and paste the Computer – Summary section. Leave out the Debug –PCI section.

this is the driver you need from nVidia http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_175.19_whql.html

Set a System Restore Point before installing just in case
Start / All Programs / Accessories / System Tools / System Restore – click radio button Create a restore point and follow instructions

Yay, it worked, thank you so much.
Also, now I can download regular driver updates like the one I used to have installed right?

that is the latest video driver from nVidia, if it's working ok, then I see no need to update it, if you mean from Win Update, personally I would stick with the nVidia driver unless you have a problem. Like they say " If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

Last sunday night I reformatted my wife laptop and everything went fine all of sudden I have no sound. I went to devive man. I resolved the problem now I can listen to music with no problem, but now I need video controller, and video controller {VGA compatible} driver. I went to their website still cannot find those drivers. If anyone could help me I will be very happy. IT'S a HP compaq presario V2000, s/n -CNF552055W, P/N-PT165AV.
