Okay, so i just recently tried to install windows 7.
Problem is, the graphics are f**ked up.
I installed 7 on D drive, and C hosts my XP.XP's graphics are intact when i run it, but 7 is giving me problems from when i booted it from disk, a f**ked graphics appeared in the first place.
I checked the device manager and my graphics card is also having some problem in 7, Nvidia 8400 GS 512 mb.
The graphics card is showing code 12, its some resource problem it says.
It can or cannot be the graphics card, help please.

When i tried to take a screen with printscreensysrq button and paste in paint, the screen is still f**ked up but the image is different from the one i get when using 7.Any help will be appreciated..
Also the aero bar which is supposed to appear on top of the app, it completely black.Cant even see the minimise maximise and close button.

Provide more information, computer specifications more specifically.

Have you tried upgrading to the latest drivers for your card?

The specs are enough to run Windows 7. And neither the CPU, nor the RAM, should affect graphics.

The graphics card is showing code 12, its some resource problem it says.
Can you copy-paste the whole warning here? Also do you have any expansion cards added, ie. a TV card, or a PCI network card, or anything like that?

This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use ( Code 12 )

Got a Graphics card, TV card etc as Grz asked?

If so, you may not have disabled your onboard graphics first, maybe :p

As the problem doesn't appear on XP and 3D programs on XP (or does it?), the problem lies within the graphic drivers, try older drivers, for instance the same version you had on XP (but for 7 of course)

@julio- Idk what your really talking about, but GFX card is the only extra thing i got installed on my pc, other than the setup required to run i.e motherboard, HD, RAM e.t.c
To disable them/or not How?

@icy - XP is using the latest drivers, and working fine.

They can be disabled via BIOS, or if Windows is actually running and installed, it can be disabled on an OS level via Device Manager.

What video card do you have? It sounds like your video card itself may not have enough RAM itself to handle Windows 7's GUI.

1. Usually one of the F<#> keys needs to be pressed upon turning on your computer before Windows begins to load. As for the Device Manager, when running Windows, there are a few ways to access it. The easiest way in Windows 7 is to simply type "Device Manager" into the Start Orb/Menu's search bar and wait for it to come up on the list. This only works if Windows is installed, running, and logged in, though.
2. Your video card seems to be powerful enough, so the error appears to be misleading.

Edit: Upon further research, the issue seems to be somewhat common, and even more-so with your specific video card. One person on the Nvidia forums said to disable the on-board video specifically in BIOS and not in Device Manager. Apparently the card doesn't get along with on-board video. :)

1.Spammed the F keys on boot, no BIOS
1.2 I already know how to get the device manager, how do i disable on board video from there though?
