    Default Installing a Graphics Card without software?

    Ok, so I've recently done a system recovery, and have restored my computer back to the way it was straight out of the factory. The first thing I did after that was re-install M2, dl 1.2 patch, and dl the UAI mod. Then, the game wouldn't work. I thought it had something to do with my disc or my downloads or something, so I kept having the same problem. When I tried to load the game it would say "an unspecified error has occured." in a black screen. I've finally realized I have to install my graphics card again.

    So, getting to the point: I've lost the installation disc for my card, and I'm wondering if I can install it from the net. I've got an ATI Radeon Expert 1650 Pro (PCI) if it helps. Thanks.

    That's if you're using windows XP. Just download the driver and install.

    StrikeQ's solution should work perfectly, also try to check for new drivers every now and then they can give a nice performance boost.

    yep, it worked. Can't believe I was finally able to the M2 Menu after so long. Thanks again, StrikeQ. And to Saibot for the the suggestion.
