I recently reset my computer to its factory settings to provide more space and speed to it. I use it primarily for games. So after the reset, I installed my game (Sims 3) and tried playing it. But a box with a message appeared saying: "Device0 cannot run this title. No supported graphics card detected. Please check your hardware. This has never never happened and before the reset, i could play the game anytime with no hassle. So why is it not allowing me now? Please help. I have a Windows Vista. (A side note, its not letting me play anything else either.)

Sorry for making u busy. Here is the official driver website:

For VIsta 32bit: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/legacy/Pages/legacy-radeonaiw-vista32.aspx

For vista 64bit:

See system properties to get the right version of your OS and download the right drv. Good luck!

Windows Update's driver sucks (no offense), I would never use such drivers even if it is a 82815 IGP i down the driver from intel.com.

Just to determine the graphic card so I could get the driver from the official site (such as Intel, Nvidia, AMD)

regardless of your personal views on what you can get from Windows Update I bet if that was the problem his headache would be over.

and it may not just be the graphics driver. Lots of people know nothing about the benefits of netframework and other things that might show up.
