your video driver needs reloading.

Do you know the make/model to get a driver off manufactures site - or - do you have a CD with the driver

if not
then these programs may help identify the hardware

The program is freeware called EVEREST Home Edition v1.10 and can be downloaded from http://www.lavalys.com/index.php?page=product&view=1&subpage=5
or http://www.belarc.com

Is your computer a brand name like a Dell or Compaq? If so post the model which will be marked on the outside of the case.

If its a custom system use that Everest program from the link above in Etaf's post. In Everest look under Devices -> Physical Devices for a video/display/graphics adaptor or card.

 

[jeremyjj]

well i found were you were talking about but i couldnt figure out wich one was wich .im so dumb at this

 

[Triple6]

In Everest did you look under look under Devices -> Physical Devices for a video/display/graphics adaptor or card? Something liek ATI or Nvidia maybe?

Not sure it Everest will list the GPU without a driver installed but there should be a GPU(Video) section as well. What does it list there?

 

[Majixlt]

Triple, would Dxdiag tell you what you need to know?

 

[Triple6]

Probably not, it only displays the adaptor name if it is installed and its the correct driver. Everest can look at the PnP ID of the card to identify it regardless of driver in the Physical Devices section.

Go to www.pcworld.com and download PC Wizard 2004. From there under Hardware Video Icon, click and the right pane with show you your Video Card Manufacturer.Then go the manufacturer's site to look for that type of driver.
