    Hello Rosha.

    Is your card nVidia based? If it is go here to download the latest drivers for it.

    The webpage is quite slow, so be patient. Once it's opened, there'll be 3 "Windows" with options in each, in the first one, select "Graphics Driver ", in the second select "GeForce and TNT ", then in the third, select your operating system, then click "GO ".

    In the next page select to download from the "Primary download site ", start the download and go get yourself a beer, the file is about 12 Mb in size, if you are using a 56k (modem) dial up, then this will take you just as long as it took me, about 40 minutes.

    Once the download is complete, close all programs (including any Anti Virus software you may be running), then open the file you downloaded.

    The installation process will ask you a few things like "Do you agree to our terms & conditions" etc. but there are no technical options.

    Oh, one thing more, once it is installed, you have to restart. After you've rebooted your machine, an installation wizard will "Pop" up. This is the "nView" program which is included in the file you downloaded, unless you're using more than one monitor on the same graphics card, then you don't need this program, If you are using Windows 98 then follow the instructions below, if you are using any other operating system, post back and let us know, someone here will help.

    Windows 98

    When the "nView" wizard apperas, click cancel and then to stop the program starting every time you boot, go into msconfig (click Start->run, type "MSCONFIG" - without the quotes) click the "Start up "tab on the far right of the window and scroll down the list of programs until you see "nwiz ", uncheck it. Click "OK ", then reboot your machine to see if it still starts (It shouldn't!!!)

    Dig.
