    I play this game, and the Game Masters suggested I should download an
    updated Driver for my computer


    Okay, I download it, and I press Next, next, agree, etc.
    And then it says installing driver,
    then it says something about the driver cannot be installed, i press ok
    then it closes.

    Use one of the links as shown in the thumbnail;
    or did you mean how to use Everest?
    Click "Report" at the top, click next to get to "Report Profile", select "Hardware-related Pages", click next, select "Plain Text", click "Finish". Then when it is done processing, click "Save To File". Save it where you want to. (I would use Desktop.)

    Click "go advanced" in the reply box, scroll down a little way until you see "manage attachments", click it, browse to your file, click "upload", and close the window. Then submit the post.

    I still need to know what driver you're trying to install. ;)

    OK, goto Dell and enter your Tag number or model number. Download their version of that driver. Sometimes, drivers are specific to their models.

    If you have a problem finding what you need, post back with your full model name and number (Diminsion xxxx, Optiplex xxxx, Insperion xxxx, or whatever) (That motherboard number gave me a hard time last time I looked and it is easier with the model name and number)

    You should read this also. It is for Dell drivers.
    How do I download and install a video or graphics driver?

    Two ways:
    1) Open Device Manager: Start>Control Panel> System. On the Hardware tab, click Device Manager, then click the plus sign in front of Sound, Video, Game Controllers.
    In Device Manager, if there is a ? in front of your video device, that means no video driver is installed.
    A ! means driver installation attempted but with problems.

    2) Try out your game and see if it works right.

    Edit: Also check your display devices. (Device Manager)

    That's in Device Manager? If so, highlight it (just single click on it), press delete on your keyboard, and re-start your PC again. Does that fix it?
    If not, post the model type and number of your Dell (or your tag #) and I will go look around at Dell and see what I come up with. Or you can go look for your full chipset driver at Dell, install, and see if that works.

    I'm taking off soon, so..... it may be late tonight before I can post again.

    Looks fine to me. Was that what you meant?
    Did it have a yellow question mark before?
    Right now it it should work well.
    Have you tested any games? Are you having any problems?
