How Do I reinstall the driver SOFTWARE for my video card?

[jdlittle]

Video card is the ATI Radeon X1300Pro (256)

My computer is a Dell XPS410 core2duo 2.4 g with the above video card (256 ram) running XP (2) (please, no overt sneers or chuckling!!)

I use a software for photo editing (Lightroom) which supposedly may need a reinstall of the driver to get the right colors on the software--

I'm told this method (below) will work---opinions??

- uninstall the video driver
right-click on the desktop
click Personalize
click Display Settings
click Advanced Settings
Select Adapter Tab
click Properties (Allow)
click Driver tab
click Uninstall
select delete driver
OK
- your screen goes blank
- reboot
-enter safe mode (tap F8 during reboot till saftemode appears as an option)
-let windows reinstall the driver
-reboot

Greetings and Welcome!

Basically just uninstall your video drivers and then:

a) take the CD that has your drivers and load them up from there (by double clicking the icon)

b) or take the newly downloaded drivers that you have on the desktop and just double click the icon and everything will install itself

Welcome to the forums!

If I were you, I would go here and download the latest drivers from ATI - always a good idea to have the latest drivers.

1.) Go to add/remove programs in the control panel.

2.) Find the "ATI Software" (or something similar) uninstall option and follow the prompts - it will ask you to reboot your computer when it is finished.

3.) When the computer restarts, windows will ask you to install the drivers via it's own wizard but don't do it! Instead, cancel out the windows installer and double click the drivers you downloaded in step one and follow the prompts.

4.) After it's through you'll restart yet again and voila - updated drivers
