    Default Graphics card error

    For some reason, when I start any game atm I get something along the lines of "graphics card could not be initiated" or "fatal error - graphics card...etc"
    I haven't played games for about 2months now, and it's kind of annoying how this just happened to me now. I don't think my graphics card is fried, because everything else works fine. Any help? Please?

    PS: graphics card: ATI Radeon X300 (laptop)

    I have a Dell - apparently Dell + ATI drivers aren't compatible - I'll try anyway, although I doubt it will work

    Well..I'm assuming there wasn't a problem before? One option may be to actually remove the drivers, remove the video card itself, and re-install both the software and the hardware.

    I'm no expert though, and I don't do Dell or ATI myself.




    Thanks.
    Prick.

    Yup - turns out my ATI driver was uninstalled/not completely installed, for whatever reason - I'm glad it's working now
