SP2 Help

[Bill]

Hi,

Since installing SP2, my video card cannot be updated with the newest driver from the manufacturer's website. There are no errors in the Event Viewer, but my card works fine. Did I lose priviledges maybe? (I am the admin non this PC)

Thanks,
Bill

Not a lot of details here? Check with the manufacturer of the video card for
compatibility of the newer driver with SP2.

The driver I am trying to install is for SP2, from the website of the =
mgr. Funny, it will work while I still have SP1 (I had an image of my =
system created before I installed SP2, so I am good to try).

If your card works fine, then what exactly is the problem?
