[Tech] Problems with my graphics card

[Dr Drae]

Sorry, I worded myself wrong earlier, I meant, connect your monitor to your MOBO's monitor port (whatever, can't think of technical term at this time in the morning), then wipe the drivers for your graphics card. >.>

Okay, I've added your msn account (or atleast the account that's entered on your profile here), Can I just ask, which version of XP is it you've got, and need a key for? as each version of windows XP requires different keys :/ thus why I stated them all earlier

Hmm the propertis of "my computer" say that I've got Microsoft Windows Xp Professional Verson 2002 Service Pack 2 Registred on my name with a cd key down below.

Okay, there should be an option next to that to validate? you click on that, and then another link will be on there to change your CD Key.

As an interesting refernce point, this isn't needed. Just disable your monitor in hardware manager. Windows will then drop back to standard VGA failsafe drivers, which allow you to happily uninstall all your drivers.

Once this is done, reinstall the monitor drivers, and uninstall the video device and voila!

There isn't any validation option

with XP you can change the serial key using the first method as shown here

Ok to update my situation:

A friend of mine gave me a link to some older ATI drivers and I tried some of them which resulted in even more games crashing or having graphic errors.
