mikebOAFC Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 My girlfriend had the same problem after reinstalling Windows - it turned out to be a problem with the driver for the video card. If you search for the latest drivers that should sort it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like your graphics card drivers need to be updated. Have you run Windows Update on it yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your help, No I haven't as yet....from where do I locate them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie_J Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Thanks for your help, No I haven't as yet....from where do I locate them? Go to the website of the graphics card manufacturer and download and install the most recent drivers for your card. Alternatively, in the first instance, run Windows Update from the start menu and that may take care of it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjk2008 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 To add to the old man's initial query, there is also no sound whatsoever. Any help on that issue would be appreciated too! Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, probably need to update drivers - the ones for the sound card this time, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 Again, probably need to update drivers - the ones for the sound card this time, of course. In order to update the drivers can I obtain the name/type of Graphics card and sound card manufacturers from my computer screen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie_J Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 In order to update the drivers can I obtain the name/type of Graphics card and sound card manufacturers from my computer screen? Possibly. Try going to Control Panel > System > Device Manager. If it's not there, have you got any of the bumf that came with them/the computer? Failing that, open the case and read if off the hardware itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
