Answer 1

First you need to find out what video card you have.

Go to Start>Run.  Type dxdiag and hit enter.

A big window will come up and it'll have some tabs at the top.  Click the "Display" tab.

If the manufaturer is:

- ATI Technologies, then http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html is where you should go.

- NVIDIA, then http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.asp... is where you should go.

- Intel, then www.intel.com is where you should go (from there you'll have to search for your drivers).

The thing that says "Name" in dxdiag will tell you for which card you need to download the drivers.

If it doesn't work after a driver update, chances are you need to update your computer's hardware itself (i.e., buy a video card).
