A good place to check your box's hardware is via Windows' Device Manager;
go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > System. Click on the Hardware tab,
then the Device Manager button.
Once you determine the hardware, you can double-click (or Open) your
sound/video cards and check the driver versions installed. Just be careful
that you don't change anything here. Back out of Device Manager with the
Cancel button.
Then go to your hardware manufacturer's site and check for drivers. Video
drivers can be tricky.
If you have a proprietary box (Ugh!) like Dell, Gateway, etc., you should
check the PC maker's site for drivers. They are usually different from the
card maker's drivers. PC makers usually provide some kind of link or
program to update drivers; it's normally based on your box's serial number.
HTH. Good luck...
