I have a VisionTek Radeon HD 2600 Pro 512mb video card i added, thats what the monitor is plugged into, and im getting video. the screen is very laggy tho, if i move a window around. The video connection does not work with the monitor connection that came with the computer, only with the one i installed.

Hi -
This site has the latest drivers for your Vision Tec Radeon HD 2600 card - That can be one problem -
The others should be able to be found by normal driver search in control panel -

Thank You -

It looks like chipset driver hasn't been installed.

XP drivers at http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwar...product=3239113.

@noknojon - Thank you
@Broni - how do i fix that
@Hamluis - I went to that site, got the audio working but still says found new hardware for Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus. I downloaded the .NEt drivers and installed them fine. Some of the drivers on the page u referred me to needed it. I really need help getting it back online mostly, im sure i can get the rest taken care of from there. Plus i have 29 days left to register windows.

you need the "Fall 2006 Original NVIDIA LAN Drivers" to get on the internet with
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwar...product=3239113

You have to install " Fall 2006 Original NVIDIA Chipset Drivers" first.

yup...get the chipset drivers first

Next time make sure all your drivers are updated first before applying any service packs or updates to Windows.

@cryptodan - I reinstalled XP..do you know if its even possible to keep the drivers you have and still make a fresh install? Im wondering if there is a folder or something i can put on a seperate partition before reinstalling windows, so i can just copy that folder into the new install partition and have all my hardware working?

You can download them all and burn them to a CD then when you get done with the install pop the driver CD in and install them all.

You can use DriverMax to backup your drivers and restore them as well: http://www.innovative-sol.com/drivermax/

Ok, makes sense. Thanks

I will attempt the Fall 2006 Original NVIDIA Chipset Drivers again today, i tried last ngiht but encountered erros, not sure ATM what it was, i will repost later in RE to it.

Use caution as they want you to create an account to use the software.

I usually get that driver from (gulp!) WINDOWS UPDATE. Something like KB888111 or something like that....?
