Subject: Determine what video card I have?OS: Windows XPCPU/Ram: XP 1700+ 512mbModel/Manufacturer: N/A |
Comment: My video card fried so I borrowed one from a friend however he didn't have the driver for it. It's not aparent what kind card I have by looking at the card itself. Windows isn't able to find the driver automatically (or through windows update). I'm using some default vga driver which really cripples my video. Is there a way to determine what kind of card I have installed and hopefully what driver I need to download? Thanks.

Reply: (edit)If you know what kind of video card you've got, google it! I recommend the following website: http://www.driverzone.com/video.html You should be able to find the driver you're looking for there. Hope this helps! :) If you don't want a Trojan barging in on you, put up a firewall!!!

Reply: (edit)I don't know what kind of video card I have that's the problem. Is there some tool that will tell you what kind of card is installed?

Reply: (edit)at the first 2 to 3 seconds when you boot up on the beginning of the boot it should flash what kind of video card you have. But you have to read really fast. you might have to "shut down" not restart your puter and power back up several times to read the info.They flash really fast. demetrius accomplishment is a journey not a destination
