[syco_killah]

i'm trying to find my video driver but i don't know how. i want to update it. and about a week ago for some reason when i put 1024x728 on screen resolution it made little thin lines which are transparent. when i put it on 800x600 it's perfectly fine. anyone know why this is happening??

Welcome to WD syco_killah .
Can you tell us the brand ( like -DELL -GATEWAY or) PC and model name or number .
and what OS it is (like XP or ME or )
Do you know how to get to DeviceManager in Control Panel ?

[Stalemate]

It would be interesting to know what brand / model your monitor is also.

[syco_killah]

okay, my os is windows xp, my monitor is packard bell(3 years old) yes i have been on device manager but i don't know which one is my video driver. urmm..does that answer all your questions oh and i got my pc at an auction, the pc was custom made.

[GrandDad]

Ok , when you go to DeviceManager look for
Display Adapters and click the little + sign and you should see what your card is and tell us and we can then tell you about what newer driver you need .

Dowload Everest http://www.lavalys.com/index.php?pag...ew=1&subpage=5 and run. Run the Physcial Devices report and post the results.

okay heres the scan

[GrandDad]

It appears you have a 'SiS 315 Intergrated Video Adapter' ,
give us a little bit and will get to you .

look what it says when i try to install it 'the setup program cannot find a suitable driver'. why is this happening???

[hudsonsmith]

You need to unzip the file you downloaded to a folder and point the installer to that location.
