Graphics Card Info Won't Display

[SOLVED]Graphics Card Info Won't Display

I don't know what it is but Windows 7 doesn't recognize my graphics card for some reason....... I have scanned several times for driver updates, still nothing seems to fix my problem...





I don't know what causes this, dxdiag displays everything else properly as far as I know....





Thank you,

What is your graphics card ??

 

[FLaTLiN3D]

I'm not entirely sure..... I wouldn't know where to find it on my motherboard. Do you want me to take a pic of the mobo? I don't really know what the card physically looks like.

When I had Xp, it had no problems identifying the card... Why is Win7 having problems?

 

[whs]

Type msinfo32 into start/search and hit Enter. On the info page go to Components > Multimedia > Display. Double click on Display. That should show your graphics card.

Edit: Is that what you were talking about or what? It's the closest thing I could find to what you described. Although it appears the information you were searching for isn't there =\

Yeah, that's were you normally find the info for the graphics card. But yours really shows nothing. The only reason I can think of that your graphics card is not enabled in the BIOS. Maybe you want to check this.

Heh.... Could you explain how to go about doing this please? I'm not familiar with the BIOS, never used it.... I think.

The chipset on the motherboard is the Via K8M800 and looks like it is probably onboard video, but need to know what the motherboard is. Grab this,

and hopefully it will show the make and model of the motherboard.

Start with going here,

VIA Drivers Download - VIA Technologies, Inc.

and getting the Vista 32 bit version of the VIA Hyperion Pro Driver Package. Then unless someone has a better idea about the best you can hope for for the video driver is to try the XP driver for the K8M800/K8N800 Display Driver, which you will probably have to install in compatibility mode,

Compatibility Mode - Vista Forums

to get it to install.

 

[FLaTLiN3D]

I don't know what to do, none of the options are the product that I have.... I'll search around for the XP driver. If someone will add me via MSN for further chat that would be dandy

I'll keep checking back at this thread, but I don't seem to be progressing very far. Thank you whs, breezen18, and stormy13 for trying.... I appreciate it.

Vista driver for the Hyperion Pro 4-in-1, XP for the integrated video. There is no video driver for that onboard video past XP as Via has dropped all support for it.

I don't understand what I should be looking for..... VIA K8M800 XP Graphics Driver?

..But it looks like you got it figured out..

 

[whs]

Sorry I am late, but it looks as if stormy got you set up. I wish you lots of luck. This is a typical problem with older systems where the manufacturer has no incentive to upgrade their drivers. That is understandable because at the end of the day that would be only be extra cost but no extra income.

Fixing it

Hey i think i got how to fix it cause i've been reading all this and i have the same problem well i went to msinfo32 in run then i found my driver. But my driver right now isn't compatible with windows 7 so i read at the bottom it said driver and it shows where it is located and i am hoping if i found the file to delete it then download a newer version it should work
