if you need computer help...

[lemon]

please make the topic title somewhat informational:

-instead of just

"help!!!!!!!"

maybe

"help: video card driver"

this will make it easier for the pros to do their work. and please, not to many capitlas:

OMG!!!!!!! I THOUGHT I WAS SO LEET SO I PUT IN THE CARD BY MYSELF AND NOW I CANT FIND ANYTHING, AND IM NOT SURE IF I PUT THE CABLES IN RIGHT, OR MAYBE ...

and no:

0/\/\G!!!!11!!11!!! 1 7|-|0|_|G|-|7 1 \/\/45 50 1337 ... please, keep it readable english: its annoying if the whole topic was like this. if you wish to have this issue resolved, or someone attempting to point you in the right direction to get your issue resolved. thanks.

and, to speed up the process more, if you can, try and provide details about the system that the issue was on. the reply to this is an example of how a possible issue might look...

i appreciate your cooperation, so that we may better help you resolve your issue.

help: video card installation

video card: bfg asylum geforcefx 5200 ( my current card )

i put the card in, and windows can identify it correctly, but it cant find the drivers when i start up the computer. i ran the installation program that was on the cd in the video card box. but for some reason it doesnt work. any ideas?

system:

asus p4c800-e deluxe
intel p4 3.0ghz 800fsb
2.0 gigs pc3200 memory
...

try installing an old vid card with the drivers.

Then pull that card out, uninstall the drivers and try it with your new one.
