Video controller (VGA Compatible) is not installed

Asked By Michelle Warner 10 points N/A Posted on - 07/23/2011

 

I reformatted my laptop from a windows 7 Operating System and installed an Windows XP Operating System. I installed all the drivers from before and everything was fine except for one thing. I see an error in one of my devices saying:

"Video Controller (VGA Compatible)" is not installed”

I can’t seem to find the driver for it. I’m using a Compaq Evo N500b Laptop.

Hi,

I can help you fix the issue on your Laptop. I suggest you to follow these troubleshooting steps to fix the issue:

>>If you have the driver CD or DVD that came with your Compaq laptop, insert it in your CD drive.

>>When the Auto play begins, select the display driver and click on “Install”.

>>It will install the display driver onto your computer.

In case if you don’t have the installation disc, follow these steps:

>>Right click “My Computer” and select “Properties”.

>>Select “Device Manager” which is located on the top left side of the menu.

>>Now select “Display Adapters” and right click it and select “Drivers”.

>>Click on “Update Drivers”.

>>You’ll have the option to search and download the latest driver.

>>You should have an internet connection to perform the download.

>>It will update your driver to the latest version.
