as the subject says above
when i go to display adaptors settings > advanced > adapter
no adaptor type is shown
no adpator info is shown .....all categories <unavalable>
click on properties
the adaptor shown is Vgasave non plug and play drivers
manufacturer and location unknown...
my problem is the old video card died and the new one radeon 9200
won't install until a standard vga adaptor is present...
strangely, the system seems to be working fine...how do i get vga
standard adapter to appear??? i tried an old S3 virge PCI which worked
ok and the vga standard adapter was listed...as soon as i put the
radeon in th agp slot and rebooted....the vga standard adapter was
gone again...
any tips???

I think you answered your own question. Reinstall the S3 Virge, then
install your radeon 9200. Then uninstall the S3 virge, if you want

sorry dave it didn't work
clipped in the virge pci
rebooted
xp picked it up
clipped in the radeon 9200 beside it in the agp slot
rebooted and ran install and it errored out with a "this video adaptor
is not compatible"....the motherboard is a gigabyte 8ST667 Rev 3.0..
weird thing is the display is fine with all modes and colour depths
working....
might have to just leave it...but it is wrong and it shits me.......
fraid this one has me stumped

Did you try to go - via F8 - into the VGA mode when booting and to
delete residuals in the device manager (check 'show hidden devices')
and then to install the Radeon driver?
