I recently got a virus on my computer, had to have hard drive reformated and reinstalled Windows XP. Now, my screen is not displaying correctly when scrolling. I have now figured out the ATI Radeon display driver is not installed correctly. I have tried to go to Add/Remove Programs so I can remove ATI driver and reinstall, but it will not let me it says "error initalizing". I tried reinstalling using the cd that came with graphics card, it gives error message "video driver not found, try to setup your video driver with standard VGA driver before running setup". I tried to download driver from ATI website, it gives error message "setup was unable to find components that can be installed on your current hardware or software configuration". I have tried to go to device manager and reinstall/update driver from the cd, but it can't find it. Can you help me with this, I am no expert on computers, so please use step by step instructions.

Go to device mgr and right click on diplay adapter and choose uninstall and say OK and then close all windows and restart you computer

On startup, your computer should load a VGA driver and then try to install your drivers
