Display Drivers Help by MC Inferno on 10-27-2007 at 12:32 AM

Basically, I dont understand display drivers and what not, but as far as I'm aware I have a graphics card in my PC that was originally out of a Dell GL45.

I need the drivers because we don't have the disc. Can someone link or upload 'em for me, greatly apprechated.

As i said, this is a world, where I know pretty much nothing, so any help would be great. Thanks,

Inferno

Thats what I tried after a little google, and now I'm stumped. Thanks though Toddy, you're always looking out for me and my tech problems, I always note it. :)

Edit: I thought I best explain too. The computer I'm on is hobbled together out of bits and pieces... long story, but to cut short, the Windows XP is blag and it thinks its a laptop.

Try doing a Hardware probe with something like dxdiag (I've never tried it without drivers, might not work) or Everest (you can still find the home edition on the web in places).

Like andrewdodd13 said:

Try Everest Free Edition and let it identify your display device.

Cheers guys. I 'll download it now and report what happens :)

EDIT: Is this it?

Unknown Device - Video Controller (VGA Compatible)

Driver Description - Video Controller (VGA Compatible)
Hardware ID - PCI/VEN_8086&DEV_2562&SUBSYS_013A1028&REV_01
Location Info: PCI bus 0, device 2, function 0

I'm looking for drivers for this but still cant find it, and as I said, don't know if it's the right one sorry.

Edit 2: Is what I need?
