A. I recognize your problem: You don't have video drivers installed, and this can be remedied several ways. First of all, if you bought your computer from a major PC manufacturer you probably got CDs with drivers, documentation, etc. Find the one that says it contains drivers and install the Video Driver. If it has no easy way to install but the driver file is on the CD, copy the file to your C:/ and name it something like VideoDriver. Go to step 8.
If you bought your video card separately, you should have received a CD with drivers and software on it. Put in the CD and install the Video Drive. It it has no easy way to install but the driver file is on the CD, copy the file to your C:/ and name it something like VideoDriver. Go to step 8.
If you bought your computer (including video driver or onboard video) from a major PC manufacturer and can't find a driver from them, go to their website and find out where you can download drivers for your model of computer. Dell can do this, Hp can do this, Gateway can do this, XYZ Computers can do this. Either install (if it is an executable) or copy the file to your C:/ and name it something like VideoDriver. Go to step 8.
If you're getting nowhere so far, find out your type of motherboard (if the video port is on the motherboard) or your type of video card. You can do this by staring intently at the device and hoping some of the jumble of seemingly random letters appears to be a model name. A magnifying glass might help. We're getting desperate now. If you come up with a name, use your search engine of choice to find <name> driver. Hopefully you'll find the file that you need. Execute if it's an executable, otherwise save the file to your C:/ and name it something like VideoDriver. Go to Step 8.
STEP 8 (named thusly because I felt like it): So you've got the file called VideoDriver on the root of C Drive. Go to your desktop. Right-click My Computer and click Properties. Go to the Hardware Tab and open Device Manager. You have here a list of hardware. Anything with a red X is disabled, and anything with a yellow ! is installed incorrectly (in this case missing a driver). You probably don't have any red X's, but if you do, right-click and Enable Device. You probably have several yellow !'s because you just did a fresh install of Windows. Right now we're concerned about your display devices. Right-click the device in question and click Properties. Update the driver and point it in the direction of your saved VideoDriver file.
Good luck.

How can I set up, in my office network, a hard drive on a Windows 2000 Professional computer to be shared?
Q. I right-clicked on the hard drive on the Win. 2000 Pro computer and clicked "Share" or whatever. When I try to access it from another computer, the only thing that shows up are the printers. Help please.
I set permissions to Everyone and unlimited people can see it.
Also it is a secondary hard drive, not the main C.

A. As long as you share the C:\ you should be able to access it from another computer, go to my computer and map the drive, make sure you do it with the computer name. (example) map drive K folder name (this is to connect to using impc as the computer name) impc\c$ this will connect you to the c:\ of the shared PC.
