Help: No Display Adapter After Installing Win XP Pro SP2

Hi:

I used the automatic update to install Windows XP Pro SP2 on my kids
computer. It has an Epox 8K5A board with an AMD 1900 XP processor. The
graphics card is an ATI Rage 128 Pro Ultra with 32 MB of RAM. After the
install, there is no display adapter in the device manager. The graphics
adapter is some 60 Hz system driver.

When I try to install the driver manually from the ATI CD, it fails with a
message to try again in VGA mode. In safe mode, I cannot even attempt to
install the graphic driver using the ATI setup software. Plug and play does
not seem to be working for the driver, although the ATI utility can
correctly identify the graphics board.

It seems like SP2 is like a bad STD, I could not figure out how to roll it
back.

Any help on getting the graphics driver to correctly install would be much
appreciated.

TIA,

Pete
 
I removed the SP2 update, and I still have the same problem. I guess I am
really stuck at this point.

Thanks,

Pete
