Hello everyone! i didn't no where to come, i was going to ring up about this but call rates are a joke for tech support these days...anyways to the problem in hand, i got home today and went to turn my computer on only to find when it had loaded up that the resolution was changed to 600x800, so i thought nothing of it and tryed getting into the catalyst control center, but it wouldn't let me, it loaded for a few seconds and then nothing....so i restarted my computer to see if it would let me but still nothing it just wouldn't let me change back to my normal resolution which is 1440x900. I've searched all over but i can't seem to find anyone who has had this problem...
So i thought maybe its the drivers? i tryed installing the latest drivers but it said that it couldn't because "The display is not compatible with the display adapters installed in your system." So i cleaned off all the drivers i had on my system and tryed reinstalling the latests drivers to no avail...So i went on to the Dxdiag, only to find that it says theres no graphics card in my PC??? I have absolutely no idea what to do...i would reinstall my graphics buy i have lost the installation CD ffs... My graphics card is X1650 pro agp, and i'm using Windows Home edition....Help would be much appreciated! hope to any help soon.. |

Okay i cant find the direct problem, i understand it may be a corrupted file on your system that related to the graphics card or control center. Use ATI CCC Uninstall utility to uninstall it. Don't worry you will still have graphics as it will use your on-board graphics or the windows graphics drivers.
Then go to ATI's website and download the drivers and CCC that corresponds to your graphics card. This should work and if not there might be a problem within windows.

The OP devoted an entire paragraph to the fact that he could not install new drivers.
If the graphics card is not detected by the software, please check and see if it's detected in Windows: Start -> right click My Computer -> Properties -> Hardware -> Device Manager and look for an exclamation mark, either visible when you open Device Manager or under Display Adapters. I would give the thing a reseat either way as I've had the same sort of thing happen when the card is loose in the slot.
