So I tried driver sweeper, now I have no graphics driver or a way to install a new one.

The installmanager app crashes after hitting install/uninstall.

try from safe mode, or try reinstall the old driver again then uninstall it, it looks something is missing so it refuse to uninstall. does it works

Or you could try a restore point....unless Driver sweeper wiped that too..

Why would Driver Sweeper delete / remove System Restore unless ya Selected All to be Cleaned. The Only thing to be cleaned is Display Drivers specifically ATI. and /or nVidia.

Windows would boot up normally and automatically use the Standard VGA Driver .

Guess you can say .. went alittle too far and cleaned house with Driver Sweeper.

Well ..you always heard people should make a Back-Up of their Hard Drive or make sure they have a System Restore Point before doing stuff they are unfamiliar with.

Sorry that it had happen to you Pal ...

But you'll get it running.

Open device manager and select "show hidden devices". Uninstall all hidden graphic cards too.
