so I *finally* managed to format my pc (all by myself - very proud
)
it all went well, apart from just one thing - my graphics card
I'm using a GeForce 6600 gt and before the format it worked just fine (still does, driver's the problem)
anyways. I installed the driver from the cd that was sent with (which works). but as it's an old driver I went to get the new one from nvidia.com
graphics card - GeForce and TNT2 - windows XP / 2000
as my xp edition was bought in norway I chose the "international" download (also tried the Us english one, but doesn't work that either)
anyways. to the problem. I do as they recommend (del current graphics card drivers) and then double click on the package to start the process. it all goes fine until the last few steps (well, I think they're the last few steps). NVIDIA has been shown full screen and there starts another installation. oddly enough it starts at like 55%. and does not budge from this point on. it takes like 1 min, then the screen goes black. sometimes it comes on again, then it goes "bing, bing", then turns off
sometimes when I then try to get into windows I am not able to do so (so load a system save (whatever that's called in English ) - systemoppretting in Nrwegian anyway
hope you guys can help me !! would be forever grateful !
oh, and some additonal info:
using norman virus control
MSI motherboard (should I try and update these drivers maybe ? (can't get into their site atm though)
