Download and install Secunia PSI a free app which scans your PC for out of date software and which I have been told gives details of all hardware connected.

Right click on "My Computer" then left click on "Manage"
Now select "Device Manager".
Under "Display Adapters" or "Unknown Devices", you should see a Yellow !
Right click on this device and select "Properties"
Select the "Details" tab
In the "Properties" window, open the drop-down and select "hardware ids"
In the "Value" window, there will be an id string;
e.g. PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0147&SUBSYS_03501462&REV_A2

If you post this string back to this thread, we should be able to advise on Make/Model of the graphics card and guide you to a download link.

Can you not load Windows up in Safe Mode?

BTW Secunia PSI I mentioned is for software I think and NOT hardware sorry, but you can use Sisoft Sandra to find out what hardware you have installed.

im going to try the above post shortly, this is what ive done.

start - run- dxdiag

then pressed the display tab.

there is nothing in the left side box, on this pc it tells me the card which is gforce 6200

so its telling me nothing on the left. on the right - Drivers all it says is main driver vga.dll

Is it a branded PC? or a custom one?
