    you don't say if you reinstalled the video drivers.

    apparently not. you must find out what video card is in the commputer, download proper drivers and install them.

    How do I find out about video card

    I went to Microsoft update and asked for drivers but they say I have all that are required.

    I've done a thorough scan but can't find what's wrong. Is there anything else I can try to show me where's there a fault?

    Right click my computer, and hit properties. Select device manager tab, and open video adapters. It'll tell you what you've got.

    Download a copy of Everest Home Edition from HERE and that will tell you what it is and provide links for drivers.
