| 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. http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/6497/screen1ts5.jpg http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/7615/screen2iy8.jpg
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.  |
