Unhappy
Major Graphic card problems, can't play games, jumpy scrollbar etc.

Hi. I'm no expert with computers so I have resorted to asking you peole for help over my graphic card problems.

This laptop I'm using previously belonged to somebody else, but before I did a total restard on the laptop the video card worked fine. After restarting it, there was no video card or sound card installed. After searching the net I found a suitable sound card driver and now the sound works fine. But I have been searching for weeks for a video card driver and none of them work. The error messages that come up say the system doesn't have the right specs etc. I don't even know if that's what I need to get it working. I've tried installing chipsets but I don't think they work. I'll show you a few screenshots.

I have absoloutley no idea what I need to do.

I'm not sure if the laptop came with a disk to install the video and sound card?

I just want a video card installed so I can play the sims 2. :'( Can anyone help? Thanks.

Well if those don't work we'd need to know what the make {dell, hp, acer, toshiba ect} and model number is of the laptop.
