    I'm not sure what you mean? Run the driver CD that came with your card and all should be good.

    Go to the makers site and download the drivers from there and install from your hard drive.

    Hi

    Just pre-empting a potential question in that if you dont know what your graphic card model and make is then download, install and run Everest and then click Computer > Summary and look under Video Adapter and it will tell you make and/or model.

    Teh do as Augie posted in going to makers site and getting lastest driver for your model card, also make sure depending on what version Windows Vista you are using you get 32bit or 64bit version of the driver, to find out if you have 32 or 64bit Vista, click Start adn then right click Computer choose Properties and under system it will tell you.


    Did notice a post of yours from last month, is this the ASUS GF 8600GT card you have still that we are talking about? if so the drivers are from Nvidia HERE if not with Everest just tell us whats under Video Adapter.
