[+35] gfx driver error

[Richie]

**** kinda ****** my driver, can someone help me. I tried to install a driver update from amd, the thing ****** up (im assuming it was the wrong download) and now my computer isn't detecting any graphics card, the screen is zoomed and and the gfx are ****.

guessing you've got terrible resolution atm (your graphics card cant detect the drivers), reinstalling your drivers should fix this

YOUR FIRST MISTAKE WAS BUYING AN AMD GPU

there's nothing wrong with amd graphics cards

and its not even there in device manager?

death to AMD, you have to sacrifice a pig a goat and the blood of an ox to install drivers for them

It wasn't showing, had to restart a few times. Managed to have regular display back but my driver date now says 17/05/2010. When i try to search for a later version it says no matches but im nearly sure earlier on there was a driver i had for 2011 and it was working fine. Hmm any ideas?

it says i have the latest driver and the data now says 2012 but the screen is still messed up and i don't think it is detecting the gfx card

Don't AMD do some software that comes packaged with the driver? Catalyst, or was that just ATI? Ano they got rebranded to AMD but maybe the same name program. Anyway try searching for that in Program Files & see if you can start it, might give you a better indication of what the software can and can't see and whether it's just defaulted to a resolution.

Whats it say in device manager since you did what mrwoo said?
