First of all I would advise you to install the video drivers, it needs to be latest, compatible with Windows XP so please visit the manufacturers website and download the latest video drivers. Please follow these steps:

(a) Go to the BIOS and disable onboard video is any.
(b) Uninstall any video software/utility.
(c) Install the new downloaded driver as an administrator.
(d) If there is a firmware update available for Video card, update it.
(e) Update the BIOS for better hardware compatibility.
(f) If you have an LCD monitor, without the video cable, keep it powered on and see if the video stays for 5-10 minutes, be on the menu screen and reset it to factory defaults.
(g) Use a good video cable to connect the monitor to the video card.
(h) Set the correct input source in monitor.
(i) Power on the system and open the display properties and see if the refresh rate and screen resolution is correctly set and the monitor is recognized.
(j) Test the monitor again and see if everything is file

Audio driver from manufacturer website won't install on Benq Joybook Lite U102I got this joybook as second-hand. It did have Win XP and all the drivers installed, when I got it (though no restore partition). But, it had viruses, so I reinstalled by copying my XP CD to a USB pen drive.I also downloaded all the drivers from the Benq website here:http://www.benq.co.in/page/?pageid=4&plid=18&pid=1511&s=1You can see that the page says \"audio driver for windows xp\", but after downloading the big 57 MB file, I saw that it didn't have any WinXP folder, though it does have Vista folder. The setup fails when run on this XP netbook. I've also tried downloading from another of Benq's websites but the same thing happens and the XP folder or drivers are missing. I wonder how the previous user installed the drivers, but he's unaware of it. Can someone please help me get sound on this netbook up and running?The UAA driver is already installed but still the setup fails. I even tried downloading and installing the driver directly from realtek. Same error message. Here's an image of the error message:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7900311/Joybook_Lite_U102_Audio_Driver_Error.JPGRegards,Deboo
