Display Drivers

[Guest]

readers digest version - bought a nvdia card - had video on mb prior to that
- couldn't install card - checked and had no display drivers in device
manager - local tech guys couldn't figure it out - microsoft same - nvdia
same - reinstalled wxp on second hard drive - video card works, display
drivers present, all good, but . . . now have two wxp installs on pc - have
to choose which to use - original install on c drive has been reverted back
to pre-sp2 status from prior attempt to fix video problem - have to use new
install on d drive, which like I said works pretty good (also have e drive,
second partition of c (80 gb) hd, with most programs installed on it -
questions - best way to get wxp on d to c drive and eliminate choice at
bootup? have tried file transfer, didn't help, copy does not work, had ghost
9.0, it failed to make transfer and was glitchy now uninstalled. I fear boot
files on c will be corrupted if I transfer from d myself/without tech doing
the work. will this be to difficult for a novice like me, or is there good
software out there that I can use to do this?

Sorry but I'm not gonna bother reading your post. If you really want
help, then you should to ATTEMPT to use proper grammar, like
capitalizations, sentence structure . . . .

I usually don't lame too much about spelling and grammar, but I didn't
get past your first line before I gave up reading your post.

If you managed to do a clean install on D and it works, then I would
say you should repeat the process on C. There is nothing actualy
stopping you from using the D version as your permanent system, and it
is not difficult to eliminate the choice OS menu when booting, but I
would not like my system that way. For one thing, there is the
occasional product that assumes it is being installed on C, and then
you have problems.

It is not possible simply to copy the D system to C because there are
now Registry references to D:\..., and these will be incorrect after a
copy. Again, I'd just do everything clean on C.

ROFL! I would have though a post with the subject of "Display Drivers,"
had at least something to do with display drivers.

True, not the best choice for a title. But, as you said, you hadn't
bothered to read the post. If you had, you'd see that the OP's original
problem started with video drivers.

And if someone makes their post hard to read, then they are clearly
demonstrating that they really don't what to help themselves.

This is for "kurttrail" only, after my thanks to bxf for his comments.
Dear sir, maddam, misbegotten rodent, or whatever you are: First, you
insult me, which is meaningless to anyone who bothered to read it, then you
admit you did not read the post (which you in fact probably did) before
responding, thereby displaying further ignorance, then you sign off with a
name and title that indicates to everyone what your true intelligence level
is; that of a petulent, self-centered child, so enamored with its own 'wit'
that that it is too ignorant to recognize its own shortcomings (if you are a
man, look between your legs, if you have anything there, they are only a
small part of your shortcomings).

Your attempts to insult me were wasted because as I do not know you, I could
not care less what you think of me. But for someone to attempt to insult
another by picking apart a post on a newsgroup for bad grammar or spelling is
utterly ridiculous in these days of abbreviated text messages ( I don't know
what lol stands for and I don't care to). I gave an abbreviated description
in an attempt not to bore others with detailed explanations, as I do indeed
tend to be too wordy in my letter writing. If that somehow annoys you, I'm
sorry, perhaps you should spend your days doing something more productive
than reading newsgroup postings on microsoft.com that you have no intention
of providing an intelligent response to. As for your own spelling and
grammar, it was you who, in your ever so grammatically correct manner, posted
the following; "I usually don't lame too much..." and "I would have though a
post..." and "...they really don't what to help themselves." Again, if you
can not provide an intelligent response, go somewhere else to peddle your
childish humor.

I do hope you have read this, but I doubt you were able to get past
'misbegotten'. You are a shining example of the need for someone to regulate
what is being transmitted over the internet. Fortunately for you, I will
fight to the death anyone that tries to stop you from demonstrating your
stupidity in the future.

In case you have skipped down to the bottom for the finishing line, here it
is: F*C* U, ass wipe.

Well, I've read more of your last post, than your first. Half of a
paragraph, this time as opposed to a your first line. I see you made an
attempt to write more grammatically correct.

Hmm! I guess my point got through, but you had to give birth to a cow
in order to get it. The next time you coming begging for help, you may
be able to get more than one reply to you questions, if you remember the
lesson you have learned here. My job here is done! Glad I could help.

You can tell any dead person anything you want, just don't expect them
to listen and/or respond.

I realize that your statement can be general, rather than pertaining to
this particular post. However, although I can agree that the style of
the post is a bit difficult to read because it consists of the type of
info that would usually occur as a list, yet it is not in a list form,
I would maintain that the post contains more detail than many other
posts provide initially.

Much ado about nothing.

Detail, that one has to work at reading, isn't is best way of begging
for help. In this case, all it got the OP was one response that had
anything to do with his query.

When someone is begging for help, then they should try to help
themselves, by making it as readable as possible. Many people would
have just given up with reading his post then moved on to the next. I
had the decency to tell him why he was helping himself out, and I didn't
make fun of him for it either, which I certainly could have.

Much ado about nothing.

Nothing to me certainly, as I wasn't begging for an answer, but the OP
was.
