I am having a similar problem after updating my
motherboard drivers. I have a nforce 2 chipset mobo and
a seperate GeForce 3 card in my AGP slot. After I
updated my mobo, WinXP is confused. I tried reinstalling
the latest detonator drivers, 45.23, and restarted
computer. Once Windows is back up and running, "Found
new hardware" window pops up by the system tray and it
says it sees a Nvidia GeForce 3 and then it says it sees
a VGA adapter. Then the wizard starts up and I tell it
to automatically install the Nvidia Geforce 3, but then
says "An error occured during the installation of the
device. The required section was not found in the INF."
I have tried manually installing it, uninstalling,
reinstalling, using older drivers, but still the same
error pops up. The mobo does have an onboard video card
that is equivalent to a GeForce 4 MX 440, I believe.
Also, when I got to advanced display properties, the
driver that is being used is VgaSave (I'm guessing that's
a default driver.) I even tried using System Restore,
but that gives me this error: "An exception occured when
trying to
run 'shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL "C:\windows\system32
\sysdm.cpl",System'. I'm totally stuck for this one.
