In the last two weeks, I've had two systems come into my shop that needed a reformat and a new load of windows. Both of these systems are PIIs with I740 video cards (AGP). Those are the only similarities. After reloading windows (all went well), I try to install the drivers for the I740, they install and all appears well until windows restarts and I get the dreaded "You display adapter is not working properly" message.

So far I've tried every version of the I740 driver I could find (from the shipping drivers to the latest from intel), and it still won't work. Tried directx5 through 7A and the problem still remains. Anyone have any ideas?

Note: with both of these systems, the video cards have been working perfectly since they were built (aprox. a year & a half).
