Look on your receipt/invoice for the computer - ask the people you bought the system from, open it up and look, etc. There are applications out there that can identify what hardware you have, but I think they all depend on a properly installed system - as I think they pull the information from the registry. Perhaps they do not - so I will recommend you try two different ones: EVEREST Home Edition http://www.lavalys.com/products/down...ng=en&pageid=3 Belarc Advisor http://belarc.com/free_download.html Once you know what you have, what next? Go get the latest driver for your hardware/OS from the manufacturer's web page. For example, let's say you have an NVidia chipset video card or ATI video card, perhaps a Creative Labs sound card or C-Media chipset sound card... NVidia Video Card Drivers http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp ATI Video Card Drivers http://www.atitech.com/support/driver.html Creative Labs Sound Device http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/ C-Media Sound Device http://www.cmedia.com.tw/e_download_01.htm Good luck! -- - Shenan - -- The information is provided "as is", it is suggested you research for yourself before you take any advice - you are the one ultimately responsible for your actions/problems/solutions.
