If I look in device manager to see if I have them will that speed it up? Obviuosly still installing the updates. Or could it be something I dont have at all?

Ok done and the ATI catalyst Install manager says Failed to detect any graphics hardwareCatalyst® Install Manager could not find path

and I now have a yellow exclamation next to one of my usbs Ive uninstalled and reinstalled and its still there.

Ive been looking through device manager and some of my drivers are more upto date than the one listed here. The latest date on site is 2007 I have 2009 updates?

It thinks you have changes in hardware...dont reactivate until all yellow marks are gone

[hevanne]

All yellow are gone. Ive reactivated. Still cant get the drivers for video working gone back thorough all the vista ones

it looks like ya'll have just about got it all fixed up, but i was wondering if at any time you tried hitting ALT+F10 at the BIOS screen. I saw that this is a Gateway PC. That key combo will kick off the recovery partition recover process.

Why would I need the recovery partition? This is a completely clean version of Vista the recovery partition was cleared too.

Brett: Im running 1280x768 also its an extended screen onto my TV, colors are Highest 32bit. Its not the same res as i was running before the reinstall because I cant seem to get those settings back my writing etc is smaller than last time at the res.

Also now when I plug in my USB device it doesnt show up at all in My Computer I cant open it from shortcuts I have, but if I go into Device manager its listed as Maxtor Basics Desktop USB Device. Also listed as being plugged into a USB hub.
