GFX Broke ??

hi all,

i downloaded & installed msi live update 5 to update my gfx & mobo drivers..
i updated the me driver, chip driver, sound driver and updated mobo bios.
next i wanted to update the gfx bios, it then asked me if i wanted to do it in dos or win, i assumed it was safe too update in Win, otherwise they would not create such an option...
so i clicked via win, it started to read, erase, flash the rom, all went well and it rebooted like its supposed too, and now im stuck with 8 bit on 640 *480.
i've tried to delete gfx drivers, and reinstalling them but without succes...

anyone know a fix for this sh*t ?

Made me chuckle
You'll have to get your gfx flashed back to its original setting, download it, a little googling of your make and model card will churn up the results, and flash it. Hope you dont brick it
