October 13, 200817 yr Holy [cabbage], yesterday I've spent at least 11 or so hours setting up xp on my vista, and finally got it to work with a boot manager an all. Today... AARGG I install xp, but it doesnt detect my video card. I've tried installing latest nvidia drives, but none of them work, infact the "Display" Menu in the Device manager has disapeared at all. When I try to dxdiag, and go to the graphic card option, It just says N/A for everything. Hours of googling have been fruitless and I feel like I'm gonna punch my computer out. Something called "VGASave" is running instead of my video card, which is default when someone's graphic card is broken, undetectable or whatever other reason. Aparantly everyone else have been having this problem for a loong time, and ITS REALLY PISSING ME OFF. Funny thing is, when I boot up Vista, it detects my card no problem, it runs everything perfectly and all that. WTF Specs: Nvidia GeForce 8200M G 256mb - graphics card 3 Gigs of Ram AMD Turion x2 RM 70 - 2.0 GHz Windows XP Professional - Service Pack 3. If you help me with this, I'll lick be your slave forever.
October 13, 200817 yr Is your system home-built, or bought from a manufacturer? Also, could we have a bit more in the way of system specs, please? Right now, you are making yourself utterly clear as MUD as to what your computer is. :geek: ~Mr. D. V. "No mud, please!" Devnull and normally with a cool mind.(Warning: This user can be VERY confusing to some people... And talks in 3rd person for the timebeing due to how insane they are... Sometimes even to themself.)

What programm should I use to get all the specs? Im so glad at least someone is trying to help, Im so frustrated right now :x
October 14, 200817 yr might sound stupid but did you download the XP 32bit version of the drivers? That doesn't sound so stupid. People make that mistake all the time. Check to make absolutely sure that it wasn't XP x64 or anything Vista.

October 15, 200817 yr as for what information to post just post absolutely everything and if you dont know something get CPU-Z and use that to find anything you dont know. also be absolutly sure your downloading the right drivers, and remove any existing drivers from add/remove programs before you install new ones.
