Hi, I hope that someone can help me. I reformatted my computer and now only have 16 & 2 colours and one setting. I have tried windows updates and updating through device manager. My driver is standard PCI graphic adapter VGA. can someone please help me. sharonmal@bigpond.com thanks in advance. shariflo

You need to find the manufacturer of the Graphics card and download the drivers from there web site. If it is on-board graphics you need the MoBo manufacturer If it is a card switch off PC and physically look at it to determine make/model

This may help in finding hardware information you need and note there are links for most of the hardware to get driver updates. Aida32

Thank you X86 and Ray. I am still trying to solve the problem I have downloaded Aida32 and it is very good. Can someone tell me where I might be able to either upgarade this driver of mine or tell me one to download. I have tried to update it through the device manager but it says it is the current one already. But it is dated 23/4/99 That is along time not to have a upgrade. Shariflo

If you look at AIDA / DISPLAY / WINDOWS VIDEO / VISEO ADAPTER MANUFACTURER it gives you a link to update the video driver. if not, tell us what AIDA says under DISPLAY / GPU / VIDEO ADAPTER. Or just look inside. If it's an integrated video (on motherboard) we'll need to know what motherboard and bios version you're using. in AIDA under MOTHERBOARD / MOTHERBOARD & BIOS

There's a free program called Unknown Devices. It can be found at the following site. http://members.datafast.net.au/dft0802/downloads.htm Run it and it will tell you all you need to know.

Hi Ray, thanks agsin for replying, I went into Aida and this is what I found. In display in windows video it says-Standard PCI graphic adapter vga. properties- device description Standard PCI graphic adapter vga.-serial number-vga.drv in pci/agp video it says-s3trio3D/2x (86c362) in GPU it has nothing. does this give you any infomation, I hope so. I will be very happy to have this back to normal.
