Though Shalt Not Update Driver, thus spoke winblows.
« on: September 11, 2003, 05:18:09 AM »
Ok, not sure if I should have posted this here since it is winblows related, but here it goes...

 I got a Virus, and decided to go ahead and re-isntall winblows after I had cleared it all out. So when I re-install Winblows Xp of course identifies and installs drivers for all my hardware during install. Now the problem I am having is with my ATI All In Wonder Radeon card. I can install the software package, but then after you reboot, you have to go into the hardware manager, and select your video card, and choose update driver in order to use the updated drivers off the CD which have the 3D accel support and video capture support ect. Now for some reason or another Winblows REFUSES to see any such files on the CD. This is the SAME CD that came with the card, and the SAME CD I have used countless times in the past to install the updates from. What is the freaking deal here, is winblows f*cking retarded or what!?

 I tried to do a search on the CD-ROM for the driver files, but no matter what, winblows wants to look on my hard drive instead, and NEVER looks on the CD-ROM. I am going insane, please help!

The CD is fine, I used it last week to do this. It is just something different with Winblows, it ain't me this time. And yes I did update my virus scanner, and clear the system of all virus' before re-installing winblows, evern deleted the boot sector.

I didn't mis-spell winblows, that's how bILL ment it to be.

 As for the Search directory option, yes I have done all the above suggestions already, NONE of them work, winblows is like,"derrr, you mean C not E right?!".

 I searched and searched the CD, and found some drivers that winblows would accept, though I had to overwrite the newer files that winblows had offered already? That's a new one, so anyhow as soon as the latest drivers get down downloading, I am going to re-boot and see how all of this is working. I think perhaps somehow permissions are screwed up if that is possible?

 As for the Virus, yes it has been scanned FULLY, updated, deleted, canned, ect. The virus has got to be gone. It was the weird32 virus, so it should not effect what I am doing here anyhow, only EXE files on my hard drive.
