    Exclamation video card problem

    ok so first of all i have Nvidia GForce 7200 LX

    Problem: second of all my comp got a virus and i had to reformat the comp and i had to reinstall all the devices and blah, blah, blah, blah. But when i played counter strike my comp crashed. then i restarted the comp and all of a sudden on the first page where it shows the window xp loading there are green lines going across vertically down the screen covering 35% of the screen. Then when it gets to the log in page where it shows all the accounts i have there are those lines again. Also my screen is constantly blinking every couple of seconds. So i cant do anything except leave the comp off until its fixed. But if i leave the comp on for few hours it restarts by itself. So to pervent from all these from happening i go to the device manager and uninstall the video card. So currrently i cant play any games becuz of this. Plz tell me what the problem is and help me solve the problem.

    PS: i wont be back for couple of hours becuz i need to go somewhere.

    Are you saying, that after video card uninstall, your display is back to normal?

    If you did not you need to uninstall and reinstall your NVIDIA Display Driver:

    Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers

    First uninstall any NVIDIA Display Driver from Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs

    After reboot install the latest driver for your card from NVIDIA.

    You mean that did not fix the problem, or the "uninstall and stuff" failed?

    Did you uninstall and reinstall the DRIVERS from NVIDIA?

    Also note that many drivers depend on at least SP2 being installed.

    Did you reinstall SP2?
