Hi,
I was wondering how I find out using WinXP what graphics card i have in my
laptop. I had a look around in the systems control panel option and couldn't
find much (or at least i didn't think i could) so I was wondering how I can
find this out.

Visit the support web site of the manufacturer of your laptop
and search for the specs pertaining to your specific model
laptop hardware configuration.

Aida32.exe will tell you: http://www.aumha.org/freeware/freeware.php#aida32

MR EDDD,

In Control Panel and System my graphics card is listed under Display
adapters. If you need to know more about the card you can then go to the
vendor site. With XP Pro it is here: Control Panel|System|Hardware|Device
Manager, but I think it is the same in XP Home.

Is there a specific reason?
As its a laptop the video is not upgradable
Any drivers should be sourced only from your laptop manu.

Try System Information:

START -> PROGRAMS -> ACCESSORIES -> SYSTEM TOOLS -> SYSTEM INFORMATION

Click on Components and then Display
