Hi,
I have recently acquired my brothers old PC so that i can game on it, however, when trying to play the game it states that it cannot find a suitable graphics card to run the game. So i looked into this a bit more(knowing nothing about pc's at all) and it seems that the graphics card isnt recognised by the pc anymore - even though my brother gamed on the PC for years and years before he got an upgrade this xmas. When running a DxDiag check, its states under the display tab: Device - N/A in all the fields. Moreover, when looking for the graphic card in the device manager, it again isnt recognised and states under display adapters - 'standard VGA graphics Adapter'. Interestingly though, under device status it states this device cannot start (code 10) which i understand is a driver issue?
So i tried to find the correct driver on this website but when i try and install it, a message states 'this grpahics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware'? therefore i am so confused how to get this graphics card working so i can actually game.
Not sure if this extra information helps, but i am using a Bush HD TV as a monitor and everything apart from games appears to be working. Also i have tried manually removing and reinserting the graphics card using a youtube 'how too' video.
I think the graphics card is a nvidia pegatron (thats all that it says on the actual card anyway).
In anyone with any knowledge on this issue could help me out i would be very grateful for your time.
Thanks
Dominic
