Phatmike Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Recently formatted the pc, and right from the beginning, all videos have just played green. I've installed the defiler pack, so i've got all the codecs. So i'm not sure.... Anyone? :ermm: Cheers, Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phatmike Posted October 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Urrm, i've searched google, and don't have a clue what to download, in my hardware list, in "display adapters" it says "Sis 300/200" if that's any help. :ermm: Cheers, Mike.

haydon_peter Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 There *should* be a disk that was supplied with your PC with your graphics card software on there, reinstall it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phatmike Posted March 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Right, bollox. Exactly the same thing's happened again, except this time i can't find the cd! Is there a way of finding out what graphics card thing i have, and then downloading the appropriate stuff from the manufacturers website? Cheers for any help. Mike.

Tomm Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 In control panel, system. Then get to device manager. I'm not exactly sure how you do so in Win2k, but I'm sure you can find it. Open the display adaptor bit, and see what you have in there :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open the display adaptor bit, and see what you have in there :lol: ← Thanks once again tomm. :lol: If a little too late. I've just rebooted after having found the appropriate driver for my card. (SIS 300) My other problem now is that no sound works!! I'm really not sure why. Sound Things (.bmp) It all says it's working fine, but just doesn't do anything! Also, i've reinstalled windows, with proper legal disks, but i don't have any microsoft office programs, word, excel, photo editor etc. Also, Ms Paint wont recognise .jpg or .gif files, only .bmp! It's so weird! Any help. :lol: Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Thanks once again tomm. :lol: If a little too late. I've just rebooted after having found the appropriate driver for my card. (SIS 300)Good :lol: Just FYI, that is an Intel chipset I think, the graphics is built onto the motherboard.My other problem now is that no sound works!! I'm really not sure why. Sound Things (.bmp) Is it muted? That's the first question! Speakers on etc? Also, Ms Paint wont recognise .jpg or .gif files, only .bmp! It's so weird! ← Really old versions of paint only do bmps. But I would have thought that Win2k had a more recent version that did support jpgs etc. Just use photoshop :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatmike Posted March 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 It's not muted, when i open up say a song in wmp (9), it says "WMP cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device, there may be a sound device installed on your computer, it may be in use by another program". I'm not sure what it is, no hardware's changed since i re-installed, maybe there's a driver or something i need to install? Thanks. :lol: Mike.
