I should've posted here...HELP PLEASE! I CAN'T STAND GOING BACK INTO 16color mode 
I installed Detonator 12.40 (packaged from Elsa) over my Detonator 6.xx drivers, and now I'm afraid to restart because Win2k will revert back to 4 bit VGA. I've found this tidbit, which looks A LOT like my error at http://guru3d.com/forum/read_msg.php?tid=903&forumid=ubb2

Right now, device manager shows an exclaimation point next to my video card, and the following for device status:
<< The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver. >>
Reinstalling has no effect, and throws a "Cannot find specified error" at the end. Any suggestions?
