Sorry if this message is in the wrong place, but my computer is seriously in trouble
After many restarts and reworkings, I can at least get on the internet now
I've been having some minor problems with error messages in Windows XP Pro. Nothing big, but everyone said "just reinstall windows, it'll go away!" Well, I did that last night, it had some problems reinstalling, and now a message keeps coming up saying "graphics accelerator is not communicating"
Initially the problem came only from starting one of the games that my daughter plays all the time, now everything is falling apart! The web browser is jumping, instead of scrolling smoothly. There are black strips where other colors should be in the browser I am using right now. I tried to reinstall my graphics card - radeon 7500, but it told me to install the vga driver first!
I've tried to adjust the acceleration, display properties, troubleshooter, nothing is working! Please help! I do not know what to do. I had to keep starting in safe mode, because it wouldn't start up any other way. I finally got it to start up normally, but it looks seriously messed up
Please let me know if you need more info, I am truly losing my mind here!
thank you for trying
