help with video card!!

I put my new computer togethor today and I got windows installed.  But my graphics are shitty as hell and I have a ATI Radeon 128MB video card in there working properly.  I looked in the windows device manager and didnt find anything.  Do I have to do something in BIOS?  The video card didnt come with any drivers, just a cd.  Please help..

What OS?

It seems you don't have the drivers loaded. Install the drivers from the CD.

Windows 98..When I try to install the display drivers off the cd rom, it installes "Standard VGA Display driverS"

Intreasting. Hmm. You can try an INF install instead of the executable.

Get to your Display Settings (one with background, screensaver..etc..etc). Then go to Settings -> Advanced -> Adapter -> Change -> Next -> Search for... ->  Specify Location - > browse.

Go to the CD and Thier should be a directory called win98 (you may have to search for it). It should contain the driver for your video card. And this *should* work.

*sigh* Another reason why I always prefer Nvidia, because they let windows install the drivers, instead of thier own program, which can cause problems

ok, ill try it

PS: I have the same mobo as you.  =]

ok i tried that.  i found the win98 folder..but there wasnt anything in there to run.  arg!!!

hmmm. What do you mean nothing? go into it with windows and see if their any .inf

theres nothing in there except security catalogs.. in ../intelgart/  there is some setup files and in theres an amd and intel folder..im running an amd cpu

ahhh fuck yea!! i fixed it. i downlaoded some drivers off ati's site.  then burned them and ran em.  thanks for ur time though dude.  im so happy.

Didn't have to burn it. just run it off the HD :P

but yeah I guess it's better if you burn it. so you'll always have it just in case
