    dont worry about the english but we do need more information. What does it do when you attempt to run a game? Is there an error code?

    Does it happen with every game?

    Does it happen when booted into safe mode (F8)?

    Every game so far havent worked. Tried NWN + Both EXP, GTA SA, HALO: Combat Evolved.

    Different things happen depending on which game im using. On NWN the start menu comes up (With play, update, config etc) and i click play ofc. Game starts up in uber low res and with no sound. When i come to the main manu the game finally crashes. This happens all the time.

    On GTA SA it starts up correctly with sound. The problem here is the messed up graphics! Im running it on the highest settings. The colors and stuff are weird. Its clearly not enjoyable with those graphics. Check my image for example:

    Here is your problem Graphics Card XFX Radeon HD 5750 1GB GDDR. You need to find a driver that will work with the games or Win 7. Try updating to the latest driver for your card
    Done that. What i DO need drivers to is for my soundcard intergrated in the graphics card (Using HDMI). I cant find the latest drivers to the sound card so i would be happy if anyone did.

    Check my profile for information.

    Best regards
