Author Topic: I just reinstalled my OS.  (Read 510 times)

I just wiped my Laptop and reinstalled my OS so then I updated it fully updated it everything and the first thing I installed is Firefox.

I just had to do this too, Although I cannot figure out how to re-install my drivers.. Mostly my video card driver. And its pissing me off lol

I didn't have to do it, I just wanted to.

Unfortunately I corrupted my Explorer.exe.. I didn't have much of a choice lol

You didn't really make a very good topic for discussion considering the OP is a single, non-thought-provoking statement, but I'm going to assume you meant "talk about times you reinstalled your OS" and say that I had to do it earlier this year.

In the start menu right click on computer > Manage.
Click device manager.
Display Adapters
Right click whatever graphics card you have > Update driver software.
Tada!

I've installed Windows:
Two times today (Friends new $3k computer, Windows 7; cousins old laptop with a corrupt hard drive, Windows 7)
Earlier this week (A friends laptop, Windows 7)
Last week (One of my old server computers, Windows 7; secondary partition on a friends computer, Windows Vista)
About a month ago (My new laptop, to remove bloatware, Windows 7)
About 2 months ago (One of my beasts, Windows 7; One of my server PCs, Windows XP)

In the start menu right click on computer > Manage.
Click device manager.

Never do that. The windows tool will almost never get the right drivers.

Just post this information for me:
Start > Run > dxdiag
Post entire contents of the first tab, and the display tab, and also post what OS you have (ex Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit or Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit).

My computer managed to update itself.. I dunno, It just suddenly kicked in. Its working fine now.

FYI, the auto update, like I said to bob, never picks the right drivers. I'd still post here if you want your drivers to do any good in games.
