No Video Controller drivers are installed

[wbarbourca]

Hello,

I have the following setup:

Product: Acer Aspire E380
Mainboard : Acer EM61SM/EM61PM
Chipset : nVidia 6100V
Processor : AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ @ 2200 MHz
Physical Memory : 2048 MB (2 x 1024 DDR2-SDRAM )
Video Card : ATI Technologies Inc RV516 XT Radeon X1600 Series
Operating System : Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition 5.01.2600 SP 2
DirectX : Version 9.0c

After 3 months of agony I recently downgraded it from Vista back to XP because of endless problems I was having with application incompatibility and jpg picture corruption over USB. That's another story.

Now I have a new problem. My video response is poor and my pictures appear to be horizontally stretched on my LG L204 WT widescreen LCD monitor. The video controllers in the device manager have yellow question marks indicating no drivers are installed. I am having difficulty finding an XP video driver as thus far none are compatible. I have tried nVIDIA and ATI.

Dxdiag shows that the system is using the generic video driver and of course suggests to install video driver provided by the hardware manufacturer.

Any ideas?

Found it! The drivers are on an AMD site, not ATI:

Thanks anyways, I am fully up and running now!

What make and model is your comp, if not sure Get Belarc, copy and paste the report, omit the Software section, it gives Product Codes for your OS and the Windows Critical Updates.
