I’m very experienced with computers, but I’ve finally found one that’s got me stumped.
I reinstalled Windows XP, and now I can’t get my ATI Mobility 3 drivers to work on my Dell c600 laptop . The C600 Drivers and Downloads page only has Win2k drivers. Maybe that was my first mistake, because I went ahead and downloaded the Windows 2000 drivers, (after all, XP is Win2k-based, they should work, right?)
So I ran the ATI driver setup.exe, and clicked Accept, Next, etc. and then… I get an error, “Driver not Found!”, I click OK, another error window appears: “SEVERE: Setup was unable to complete the installation. Try to setup your display adaptor with a standard vga driver before running setup.”
Probably the weirdest part of all is even though the DirectX Diagnostic (dxdiag.exe) detects the standard vga.sys driver, the Device Manager does not. It doesn’t even show a Display adapter of any kind. See screenshot: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2583/3988… Is there an IRQ conflict?
So I figured it’s the chipset driver that needs to be installed first in order to install the video adapter. At that point I went to Intel.com and downloaded the chipset driver. (440BX Mobile AGPset). I got an error when I tried installing it: “the current operating system supports the Intel chipset devices on your system. No INF update is needed”
No update needed? :S That’s crazy, does anyone have any advice, please?

So they just mailed my lap top back and so i turned it on and it was working fine and beginning to load up but then the screen turned blue and had an error and it said that system32/drivers/ntfs.sys was courrupted. So then i quickly shut off my computer and treid to restart it but ikept getting teh same error message. So i looked online on how to fix this and they said to put in the XP cd and click repair.

Dell Dimension 8200 Start Up Error?
Saturday, September 19th, 2009The message states:
“A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
If this is the first time you’ve seen this Stop error sceen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in the stop message, disable drives or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video adapters.
Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup options, and then select safe mode.

Anyone know how to fix this? Greatly appreciative if you would help and your solution works. My mother needs to pay her bills on that computer, not either of the laptops we have. That computer is the only one we have that she can do some specific types of bills on. Again, PLEASE HELP!
