    Did you uninstall the stock drivers? Were you trying to install omega drivers or something?

    You can take your drivers cd that came with the laptop and try and find the graphics card drivers on their.

    Or

    You can go to omegadrivers.net and dload the latest omega drivers (which will offer better performance than the stock drivers) and install those.

    Whatever happened it sounds like your drivers got uninstalled or whatever and you need to get some graphics drivers on their and everything will look beautiful.

    The problem started when he tried to install a modded driver. I gave you instructions on how to install the original. If that dont work you should roll back to a time before you modded. if all else fails you can reinstall windows and stop modding your laptop which may i remind you only has 1 year warranty. The more you mod the more you will find your self here on the forums asking for advise. :)

    Well if you uninstalled the old drivers then you needed to install the omegas while the old ones were uninstalled and the omegas would become your new drivers.
