Title: No Display adapter / No video card visible in Device Manager.
Post by: MisterSjeiks on March 21, 2011, 07:05:34 pm
I recently (today) re-installed Windows XP, all went well... Untill I tried to play some games, at first I tried MineCraft... Didn't work, had to update the driver. I did that, but it still didn't work, so I just ignored it and tried SA:MP, but then it hit me; SA:MP has ALWAYS worked on this PC, I never had to install a driver. So ofcourse I went to the Device Manager and to my surprise, there was no Display Adapter there, I couldn't click the little + and stuff like that. I've tried finding help on Google and stuff, but nothing helped. I even formatted my PC, deleting everything. Now I have alot of space, but still no Display Adapter. So uhm... Any help?


My OS is Windows XP 32 Bit.
My Video card (used to be/)is an Ati Radeon Xpress 200.
If you need more information just ask ;).

Did you build your PC from scratch? Or was everything pre-installed?

Try removing the card and putting it back in again.

If it was bought pre sempled and OS ready, then there was some driver probably already installed, and now that you formatted there is no driver, and therefor it doesnt pop-up in the devices, try finding a GPU driver :)

basically this, although from what you said, u just reinstalled windows, all you need to do is download and install the drivers, try the ATI website
