Hello guys.

I have a PC with a problem... for some reason windows doesn't recognize any display driver... I have an Nvidia Geforce 6600 and when I tried to install the newest drivers a message pops saying : "The Nvidia setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit." , and of course it kicks me out of the program. , I went to the BIOS and for some magical evil reason, the PCI was disabled... I puted on again thinking that it would be solution but no, I still have the same problem.. the strangest thing is that I don't recall doing any changes to the computer software ... I haven't used the PC for one year almost ... and then I get this.. can someone help me please ,

I'm running Windows xp and when I try to plug the monitor cable to the video card it doesn't work .. so to be able to see , I have to plug through the standard display chipset...

thx in advance.

Might be your problem, because if it's plugged into the default it maybe won't detect. Where to go from there I don't know.

Did you try safemode? If you get into that you possibly disable the display adeapter in the Device Manger.

Completely uninstall the driver, and download the driver from a different place and try installing again.

Also, there is the possibility you downloaded the wrong driver.

When you boot your computer, if its plugged into the main GPU, can you still see the POST screen and windows booting, or does it not display anything even then.

If its the former, then its a driver/config issue. If its the latter, its likely that the GPU is dead or malfunctioning.

If you got a friend who could lend you one, it would be a good idea to test out another card. It can help you exclude components from being part of the problem.

And as someone else suggested, completely wipe the drivers and reinstall. Make sure that the video card is actually seen in Device Manager before you do so, because if its not, Windows wont be able to automagically find it and install drivers.

By main GPU you mean the Nvidia card or the default motherboard gpu ?

thx.
