Did I screw up...

[34erd]

Does the Dell dimension 8200 use the Intel 850 chipset? Because I installed the driver for it when I put in my new graphic card. It works, but it takes 5 times as long to boot up now. Also when I was installing the card I bent the bracket that holds the clip that holds the cards in place, so I tried bending it back, but It's still squed a bit. This wont mysticaly afect performance will it? Also if I downlaoded the wrong update for my chipset do I need to reinstall my old nvidia card because my new card is radeon and the restore point was made with forceware still installed. And green and red make brown which is ugly

they use the intel 850 or 850E chipset.

Nope shouldn't.

Also if I downlaoded the wrong update for my chipset do I need to reinstall my old nvidia card because my new card is radeon and the restore point was made with forceware still installed. And green and red make brown which is ugly

was there a reason for a chipset update? also, dell releases their own drivers and you should stick to those. just roll back first. if nothing shows up on the monitor then switch them. nvidia/ati doesn't like each others drivers

Well this shouldnt affect anything as long as ur card is still firmly in place, just make sure that it doesnt wiggle around, and it is screwed in at the expansion slots in the back of ur computer.

Well the instruction manual said to update the AGP drivers for the cipset before installing the card. So I installed the "graphics dirver" for the chipset on intel. So I should go back to the restore point, uninsatlll forceware, and reinstall catylyst?

OK my computer has been acting super slow now and load times for games have increased 5 times. For some reason windows restore deleted that restore point, so is there any way I can uninstall the 850 driver? What will be there if I unistall it? Should I first save the dell driver on my computer before I unistall it? Please help because my computer is slower than it was with the mx420 now.

Ok I know I can rollback drivers but where in the hardware list is the chipset? (It was a graphics driver that I got)

Unless thats an onboard video then you either install the graphics driver or the chipset driver....

So I should go back to the restore point, uninsatlll forceware, and reinstall catylyst?

Well if you're installing a graphics driver for the chipset then you're using onboard video (and since its intel its gonna be intel video) .. so why do you have forceware/catalyst at all?

so is there any way I can uninstall the 850 driver

why are you uninstalling the chipset driver?
