My pc spec's are in my sig.

I can't install any drivers for my gpu, because it didn't come with any, and that pc doesn't have internet access (due to wifi driver problems),

I've tryed downloading the drivers off the internet and putting them on a CD, then on my new pc, but it doesn't work.

My base score on vista is 1.0, becauase of the graphics!

thanks for any help.
 
well it all installs, and everything, and it says it was successful, but it doesn't actually work for some reason. It says something about it being disabled or something? not sure. I'll have to look tomorow, when i turn it on again.

Also when i copied the files onto the Cd off the pc im on now, it said some of the files could not be copied onto the Cd, wht could they have been?

Some?? There should only be 1 and thats the Forceware....exe file. Have you not got a usb memory stick to try instead?

nope I don't have anything else like a usb stick, and I can't remember wht the files were that couldn't copy onto the Cd, i'll find out tomorow for you.

oh and for that 1.0 under graphics in the vista performance thing, you have to click refresh and run the test again to change it once you've installed the driver

yeah I did refresh it, and t didn't help.



could someone please link me to the correct drivers please, because I just wanna check I'm using the write thing.

thanks everyone for all you input btw.
 
guru3d.com still crashes my internet explorer. I just tryed to download flash player for IE and it crashed aswell. So i tryed downloading firefox, and there was an error towards the end of the download.

hmm, is this a fresh install of windows? Something strange is going on.
I remember coming across a problem on xp when an install didn't go on correctly and it stopped install shield installing anything else. trying to remember the fix..

yep it is a new install, everyithing in this system is new.
 
hmm....

well i'm tempted to just format the hdd, and start again, but when i was first installing vista the first time it didn't work, and it only worked on like the 5th try. I'm not sure what to do. :(

EDIT

Yea sorry i forgot ya ain't allowed to say. It sounds to me like you either got a bad
copy of vista or somethings up with your machine somewhere as 5 installs is to much.
It really should have worked first install. Have a look at the disc see if theres any deep scratches on it. If so return it.

i like to call them "Scam" atm. they delivered everything, to the wrong address, two days late. and now the parts don't even work... pfff. I pretty narked tbh. I should have just bought a pre-made package. now I'm broke and have no PC.
