Graphics Card Problem

Hello,

I am having some trouble.

I just recently cleared the hard drive and re installed windows 98.
Ever since, the graphics look really grainy. I can't change the resolution and it says only operating at 16 color.

I talked to someone and they said the original driver probably is out of date.

My computer had fine resolution before the reboot so i dont think it is hardware.
How can I figure out the Driver I need for my graphics card? How can i figure out what kind of graphics card I have? Does anyone know where I can get a new driver for it?

Thanks,
Sat Kartar

You'll need to install the drivers for your video card. If you don't have the drivers on a disk that came with the computer (or the video card if you added it later), you can download them from the card manufacturer's site. You'll need to know the make and model of the video card you have.

To find the make and model of your video card, download, install and run either Belarc Advisor or Everest Home Edition. Either one will inventory your computer and give you a lot of information about your computer's components including the "Display Adapter" or "Video Adapter" (which are just other names for video card).

Once we know the make and model you have, we can help you find the drivers for it.
