Standard VGA Adapter Driver

[nexess]

I just Nlited my windows installation and I guess I must have removed the Standard Display Adapter Driver thinking that ATI would install it anyway--apparently not, ATI wants atleast the standard VGA Adapter to be installed.

Is there a way I can download a standard vga adapter driver?

OK that was the most painful way to install a driver.

Here are the steps, although I am 100% sure this is the most inefficient way to do it, or no one would ever do this stupidity in the first place (removing something from NLITE):

1.) You need your original Windows XP CD, navigate to the i386 folder and look for *.IN_ files

2.) Load all these files in WINRAR (you can use the find files, and it will look inside Driver.cab also)

3.) Select all the files (I'm sure you only need a couple, but I didn't know which ones), and click extract to and extract it to some location

4.) Now, load up winrar again, tell it that you want to extract all these files again (it needs to go from *.IN_ to *.INF)

5.) You will now have a folder about 20MB in size with all the INF Files.

Part II:

6.) Go into update driver, and point it to that 20MB directory, windows will do the rest

7.) Now, keep your ATI unzipped/extracted drivers handy (get these from the internet)

8.) Windows will ask you for files that it needs--and you need to navigate into the depths of the DRIVER folder in the unzipped folder from ATI

9.) Some of the files cannot be found under the drivers folder, and you will need to search for them on the internet (I think only 1 file did this) and download it.

10.) All done.

Just to make sure everything is updated and working fine, restart the computer, and then run the actual ATI setup, and from now on everything will happen automatically. Yanno, like if I hadn't messed around with Nlite to mess it up in the first place.

The solution described above will get your video driver installed--but corrections:

Windows will still be messed up in that it is not letting me reinstall the driver or update it and still asks for the card to atleast be installed with a standard VGA adapter driver.

I'm guessing when I removed the "Video Drivers" and "Old video Drivers" from Nlite, it removes the VGA drivers.
