Start -> 2. Run 3. -> Type DXDIAG -> 4. Visual tab (Unaccurate)<br/></li><li>Download and run <a href="http://www.lavalys.com/products/download.php?pid=1&lang=en">Everest Home Edition</a> (Recommended) <br/></li><li>1. Right click on My Computer -> 2. Properties -> 3. Hardware tab -> Device Manager<br/></li></ul><br/><br/>Does the device manager report any errors? If you have no drivers installed, there will be an 'unknown device' in the list. Perhaps more than one.i am downloading the everest thingy now...lol...told you i wasn't very computer smart...however i did go to device manager and did not see any unknown <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/devices-25633" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DEVICES">DEVICES</a> thank you againi downloaded the everest thing and the only thing i could see that had to do with video was it said...Device Description Device Type<br/>S3 Trio64 V2/DX/GX (86c775/86c785) Video Adapter<br/>is this what you mean?i ran a scan and it said that my video card driver was good....any other suggestions...i went into dispay and tried to change it that way...but it says you have to restart and every time i restart it goes back to the way it was..... The S3 Trio64 is your videocard.<br/><br/>You should be able to find drivers <a href="http://www.s3graphics.com/">here</a> or <a href="http://www.driverguide.com">here</a>.<br/><br/>For the latter, log in with drivers as a username and all as password. <br/><br/>When you are looking for drivers, try either S3 Trio64 or S3 Trio64 V2/DX/GX<br/> Quote<blockquote>...S3 Trio64 V2/DX/GX (86c775/86c785)...</blockquote> <br/>S3 was very popular until they went out of business. The only thing S3 has reference to is a utility "Wins3id.exe' which identifies the S3 chipset. 86C775/785 is the key. It might also be good to know if your graphics card is AGP or PCI, drivers may be different.<br/>it says AGP/PCI...does that make any difference...and i went to the sight and it gave me a list of 83 of them...how do I know which one to install....gesh I feel like such an idot...lol...thanks for all the help you are giving me...it is much appreciatedWhat resolution are you running at the moment?I'm still not sure if your problem is driver related.<br/><br/>If you decide to try drivers...<br/>Here is the link for you.<br/><a href="http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=8562">http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=8562</a> Quote<blockquote>it says AGP/PCI...does that make any difference...and i went to the sight and it gave me a list of 83 of them...how do I know which one to install....gesh I feel like such an idot...lol...thanks for all the help you are giving me...it is much appreciated</blockquote> <br/><br/>Show us the list.<br/> <br/> S3 Inc.
