Hello!
I upgraded my cpu and ram and to make full use of the new amount of ram I upgraded from win xp to windows 8.1. After checking in asus' web I notice that theres no vga drivers for windows 8 or 8.1 (latest being win 7). Decided to try them cause sometimes they work.I tried to install them and an error poped up saying it wasnt compatible but windows asked me if I wanted to install it in compatibility mode, I agree and the driver installed succesfully (without them I was only able to choose from a limited variety of resolutions and with them I had more). After the mandatory restart the drivers are working but theres an error at the windows start saying it was missing some file, checked on the internet how to solve and the solution was to reinstall the drivers. I uninstall them but when I try to reinstall them again it doesnt work, it says installing and that it was succesful and everything but it does nothing (only have 3 resolutions to choose like if there was no drivers installed).
I removed the drivers with the ati unistaller, and the Display Driver Uninstaller (guru3d) but still the same. I rung the setup file in compatibility mode (for windows 7, was like that after the first succesful installation)
Any idea how to make the drivers work again (even if the pop up at the begining is there is better that how it is now)?
extract:
motherboard: asus m5a78l-m lx v2
gpu: on board
OS: windows 8.1 x64
Drivers: for windows 7 worked the first time in compatibility mode, unistalled to correct a problem with the installation and now it looks like the installation was succesful but does nothing to improve the resolution on the screen.
I probably missed some important information so ask me what ever else is needed!
Thanks in advance
