| Thank you neil and jimmy..here is what i found out..my device name is Nvidia
| Ge Force2 MX 100/200 microsoft corporation
| I then went through the nibblesnbits site which led to the nvidia site..but
| when i went to find the driver for my system there wasn't even the option for
| my computer which is windowsxp 2002 home edition version 2002 sp2
| The only options relating to windows were
| -windowsxp2000
| -windows media center edition
| -window NT4SP6
| -windows 95/98/ME
| So now what should i do since my edition isn't even an option
| Thank you once again for your help. Wendy
| P.S. I don't know what game it was as my daughter told me about after it
| happening.
