Re: Having a hell of a time refinding a working video driver...


If anyone has run into this and has an idea what might be wrong, what is basically happening is that the OS defaults to the Standard VGA driver. Both XP and Windows 7 are doing this. Complete wipes and reinstalls don't seem to do any good toward fixing the problem.

However Friday morning I booted and all of a sudden the laptop installs the drivers it should have been using all along and works the way it should have been until today. Now it reverted back to the Standard VGA driver and does exactly what it did before including rejecting the appropriate drivers.

I've opened the laptop and can see no visible cause for this. This model isn't known to have this problem. My best guess is that the hardware is failing internally at some level, but not in a way that makes for an easy diagnosis.
