to a
Radeon 9200SE
So, it works fine, I can see blur graphics, and use games that require this "pixel shader" shit...however, some settings seem to have changed during the installation.
I don't know WHY putting in a graphics card would ever possibly effect this, but this problem wasn't there before installation, an it is NOW.
Basically, my pc will NOT open cd's/dvds anymore...as in, it won't let them autorun, OR be explored.
When I try and run a cd, THIS comes up in a little window:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT.
The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft windows applications.
Choose Close to terminate the application.
THEN, I get the choice of close, or ignore...either does the same thing, the cd doesn't run/can't be opened, and that's it...Happens with both my cd and dvd drives...
If anyone is any good with this BULLSHIT and has any ideas better than mine (kicking the pc into small peices), I'd thank you kindly for your reccomendations/assistance.

this is simple to sort out Cheeb, you'll need to find the AUTOEXEC.NT file....
Go to C:\Windows and find the 'Repair' folder, look through this folder till you see the 'autoexec.nt file', the files will be alphabetical so it will be near the top. Once you've found the 'autoexec.nt' file, right click it and then click copy. Now go back to C:\Windows and find the 'system32' folder. Right click the 'system32' folder and click paste. This will copy the backed up 'autoexec.nt' file from the 'Repair' folder to the 'system32' folder.
