Hi,

I recently tried to add an AGP card to my PC, the driver's for some reason
did not work, and now I am left with no Display Adaptors shown under Device
Manager. I have tried to reinstall the drivers (both motherboard and video
card drivers) but there is still nothing showing.

I do get video on the PC, but just no display adaptors (either motherboard,
standard VGA, or new graphics card). I have run the sfc /scannow to make
sure I had no missing files, using the add hardware wizard does not pick
anything up, and so I am a bit stuck at the moment.

Is there anyway to at least get the standard VGA adaptor back? and then move
on with installing the video card drivers?

Thanks.

What graphics capability did you have before.... was it an onboard chipset,
or a PCI card or another AGP card?
