    You don't. Your graphics card either supports 3D graphics or it doesn't.

    You can go to Start -> Run and enter dxdiag. On the Display tab, it will give you information about the graphics.

    Gooday. The display tab said generic driver, change. When I download driver(nvidia geforce 2mx 100/200) it says driver exists, override, when I do that it says can't locate any drivers compaiible with hardware. When I go to device manager video is in yellow other devices and says no driver. I have been using wwt before and was ok. I reinstalled wwt and is same.

    I am currently in very similar circumstances, I am upgrading my drivers (nVidia) and I've "lost" my storage controller drivers (and I have only done around 15 restarts of Windows this morning :rolleyes: :D).

    What I suggest you do is to look for updated chipset/motherboard drivers and install those.

    If things don't get updated, (what I am about to do is) go to Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs and uninstall the listings for the hardware. Restart and run the installers again.

    You will need a good set of drivers. "Generic" are definitely not good.
