find out what graphics card it is, go to the manufactuors website and download the needed drivers for it. That should sort it out

Have you got a disk for your graphics card?

If so, could boot hard drive off there but if not use the the manufacturers website like suggested above.

if all else fails and you cannot find out what card it is, open up your computer the make and possibly model number should be on the card

:n: Dont have a disk no and have no idea what card it is to get drivers :(

was the graphics card originally in the computer, if so then try re-formatting it again

Run windows update. It may find the needed drivers.

If not then have a look in your device manager. Right click MY COMPUTER and select PROPERTIES. Then select the HARDWARE tab and click DEVICE MANAGER. Any device that has been detected but needs drivers installed will be displayed in the list with a black ! in a yellow circle. It should also give you the name of your card.

Your graphics card will be listed under DISPLAY ADAPTERS once the DEVICE MANAGER has opened.

Once you have located your graphics card, right click it and select PROPERTIES. Then click on the DRIVERS at at the top. You ill find an option in here to search for the best drivers to use. If itdoesnt find any drivers then you should have the name of the card so you can use google to search for the drivers. Or give me the graphics card make and model number and Ill get them for you.

Hope this helps.
