Ive been having this problem with my ati display driver so my teacher recomended that I download another one which I did and a message showed up that said "Setup was unable to find components that can be installed on your current machine". Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I have Windows Xp if that helps.
its either the wrong one or its a zip file maybe, and needs to be unziped first before the wizzard will recognize it as a driver file .

Oh, well its not, I start to install and says it cant.
if you right click on mycomputer /properties /display adapter /hit the + then right click and go to properties .reinstall drivers and direct it to the folder where the drivers are downloaded to .
If you want put a link here to where you are downloading the drivers from and i will have a look

When I do it it says "Windows could not load the installer for display. Contact your hardware vendor for assitance" if I do what you wrote.
in my opinon based on what you are saying ,you are downloading the wrong drivers for your video card

What do you suggest I download? Do you need any info to tell me?
well what i usually do it remove the card and get the #s' off the chips on the card if now model name exist.
You could use this PROGRAM to get the display adapter info ,download to a folder of its own and click on the icon unpack into the folder then click on the exe file to run the program ,when you run the program go to the 3rd icon to the left of where is says Processor #1 and get the VGA model and number info

So it says I have a ATI Rage 128 Family, now would I look up updates for that?
thats a start, i though it might give a little more info than that , serach the ATI site.
I just noticed you are using winxp ,try this, Right click mycomputer/properties /hardware/device manger /display devices and unistall whats there ,reboot computer and let winxp reinstall the drivers /.
