"Video Controller" and do not know Video Card for
« on: April 07, 2006, 08:05:43 PM »
I need to know if there is anyway to find out what type of videocard I have inside of my laptop because everytime that I try and play a game, it says that I do not have a 3D enabled Video Card.

I know that it is 3D enabled cause I played games such as "The Sims 2" on it before I switched from Windows 2K to XP. All I know about the card is that it is 32mb.

Please help!

We've got a thread about identifying laptop components here: http://www.geekforum.org/viewtopic.php?t=2703 Read is really carefully.

It's there for a reason, though. Just a heads up. 'Members' like you generally don't last long here. Either they get sick of the smartass responses because they didn't bother to read the BIG FUCKING TITLE AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE or they get all sassy after being called on their stupidity and a mod bans them.

You're welcome to stay if you actually want to hang around and chat here.

Give me a good reason not to kick you in the head.

Edit: Or have The_FOO do it, since you're in Halifax.
