Div Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Looks like a problem with your video card drivers. Have you tried updating them ? Do you have any yellow question marks in device manager ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Nederlander Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 Cheers Div - no question marks , how would I go about updating them ? (idiots guide required ) I had downloaded GLsetup but it doesn't support XP ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Div Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I've done a bit of reading - seems this is a very common problem. First things to try; Download the latest and greatest drivers fot your video card; The video card itself will be listed in the device manager. Visit the website of the manufacturer and download the latest drivers for your card. This will usually be a self installing .exe file. Try downloading the latest and greatest version of Direct-X from the Microsoft website; Clicky If you still have no joy then post back - I have ways of gaining remote control of your computer and having a look for myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Is that not an integrated graphics card i.e . one built onto the motherboard? If not then I think it is a very old card from several years back. How old is the machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I doubt very much if it supports 3Dfx Just how carefully did you check the minimum specs before you bought the game driver clicky Thats where I always start when Im looking for drivers You can use my username and pw if you like - PM me for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Nederlander Posted July 19, 2005 Author Share Posted July 19, 2005 My PC is a 2yo Dell package , I've never had bother playing games in the past (including a few EA Games of which MOHAA is one !) Everything else is running sweet ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should then be able to get drivers from there too, once you know what youve got Hopefully, that will be your problem. It looks like the newer chips will play the latest games ok .. lets hope youve got that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I am suprised you say that you have never had problems running games as I thought that was an integrated graphics card and they are usual guff for games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I think thats primarily what they are intended for. Basic spreadsheet, word stuff and surfing the net and some gaming but nothing extreme. Put it this way you won't get Doom 3 working on it - nor on my one either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
