You will need to get the right driver for your video card. Can you get to the inside of the computer to look and find out the name brand and maker of the card, then post back?

If the video card is built into the motherboard like you say, then find out exactly the model of the motherboard, go on their website and download the vga drivers that the board comes with. Or go to www.driverguide.com and find it there (username drivers, password all) Good luck, SN
