========================================
You access your Video Card from Device Manager...
the following article explains how to update a driver:

(283658) HOW TO: Manage Devices in
Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=283658

Also...

Go to the support website of your video
adapter's mfg. and search for drivers.

If you don't know the make and model of
your video adapter...check the documentation
that came with the computer.

Also you could try these steps...
Go to...Start / Run...type...
msinfo32 ...press enter.

On the System Information screen...choose...
Components / Display...

You should find the make and model of your
display adapter as well as the driver version.

If the driver on the support website is more
current than the one you are running...
download it and install it. Also you should find
installation instructions at the support site.

Your graphics card may well be integrated on the motherboard.

From the desktop:

Start, Run, (type) dxdiag (enter)

Click on the Display tab and it should tell you what graphics are installed
in your PC.
