You need to download and install the latest video card driver for your
system. You can do this from the web page (usually support --> download
section) o fhte video card manufacturer of your video card. You must know
what you have (from a receipt, having installed the video card driver
before, looking at it inside your computer or some other method..

There are applications out there that can identify what hardware you have,
but I think they all depend on a properly installed system - as I think they
pull the information from the registry. Perhaps they do not - so I will
recommend you try two different ones:

EVEREST Home Edition

Belarc Advisor
http://belarc.com/free_download.html

Once you know what you have, what next? Go get the latest driver for your
hardware/OS from the manufacturer's web page. For example, let's say you
have an NVidia chipset video card or ATI video card, perhaps a Creative
Labs sound card or C-Media chipset sound card...
