stop me from smashing this computer!
<< < (3/7) > >>
Lewis Black:
I confirm this, it happened to me last year.  AVGA cannot handle the video modes used in the XP installation routine.
leapinlew:
Ultimately, I say smash up the computer.

If you get this frustrated this quick.... it'll get smashed up sooner or later.


Glaine:
Agreed, those without patience are hereby forbidden computer usage.

I have a dottronix monitor set to RGB. I was installing XP.

I don't usually get frustrated this easily but my new three week old daughter wakes me up every two hours. I get so tired  cant think sometimes.

Do I need a video card to set up windows. Can I just use an old monitor and the VGA port on motherboard?

If I need a video card than I think I can get a used one for $10.00. Are they plug and play? :dunno
