im completely out of ideas with this problem.
i have a sony vaio that got reformatted. ive installed all the drivers (sony give u a factory bundle on their website) incl. mobo again.
but the video drivers just will not work. its an nvidia geforce fx chip, and either drivers install and just dont do anything or i get an error that says could not locate any drivers compatible etc..
ive tried:
sony's driver bundle - gives me a folder with no setup files, just dlls :/
nvidia's official forceware (that has my card model in supported list)
omega nvidia drivers
nothing has worked. some have installed but on computer restart, just sit in some folder without actually working. google has got me this far
completely stuck. halp please !

Have you already tried resetting your BIOS, or just uload your cmos by unloading your cmosbattery for 10 minutes?
Maybe your gfxcard needs to be detected first by your motherboard drivers, which is the case with many prebuilt pc's. In that case, just install the newest mobo drivers ;)
im guessing this is because i did an XP format of the pc rather than a vaio self recovery (this wasnt working)
LE: Those DLL's should have some .inf files near them. Go to add new hardware and chose the manual installation option and them "have disk" and select thne .inf files.
E*what is the model of this vaio ?
