reinstalling accidentally deleted display drivers

Hello, I accidentally deleted all the ATI display drivers installed with Vista when I tried to uninstall some older ATI drivers that I was trying out. The uninstall not only uninstalled the old drivers, it uninstalled every ATI driver on the computer that it could find, so I can't go back to the Vista drivers that were included with the install. Does anyone know how to get those drivers back off the Vista install disk without completely reinstalling the OS. I've reinstalled the older XP drivers and they work, but aren't quite as good as those I found in Vista. I have an ATI Mobile Radeon 9000 IGP display card/chip. Thanks!

Boot into safe mode. Insert your Vista DVD and abort the setup screen. Go into your Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Device Manager. Right click your display adapter and select Update driver software. Hopefully if you select Search automatically it will check the DVD. If that fails you would have to Browse for the path of the drivers. "Jo" wrote in message

Thanks so much. I'll give it a try and hopefully this advice will help others, too.

Do you have any idea what the path to the drivers would be? I looked on the DVD and couldn't decipher where anything was, as it was such a different directory structure than XP.

Sorry, I didn't work. First said current drivers were up to date (in Safe Mode, uses standard driver). When I searched the Vista DVD is could not find drivers; it only found few remaining ATI drivers on my hard drive that weren't named ATI and thus weren't removed by uninstall utility. I guess if I want them back, I'll need to reinstall, but thanks anyway.

Try running WinUpdate and you may just get the latest Vista ATI drivers that MS has approved for Vista. If you have trouble with a normal boot you could try an F8 boot with networking and WinUpdate.

I don't because I haven't had to try this. Jo, does ATI have the drivers available on their website like Nvidia does? "Jo" wrote in message
