Someone please try to find another way to help me I really need it.......
Maybe try to find another BIOS update or something like that......
Just popped in on this thread and seeing things like "update your BIOS" always makes my eyes bug out. DanR, before updating your BIOS, you should be aware of the dangers of doing so. Please take every precaution when/if you do the update.
Updating your BIOS can be a very scary process especially for older systems that don't have any roll-back.
oh..... O.K. here it is:

So as a recap, you had XP and you could play games and you had a Video card and there were drivers installed for it, is this correct so far?
What were the drivers that you had installed on XP?
Then you installed Windows and now it only shows a standard VGA adapter, right?
When you want to play games you get all sorts of errors, what errors are you getting?
What are the games you are trying to play that were working on XP?
Are you sure you actually have a Video Card?
Have you opened the computer and had a look the Big Card sticking up out of your motherboard and does your monitor connect to it. (It should be!)
We need more info, if you cant give it to us then you may need to find someone that can.
"So as a recap, you had XP and you could play games and you had a Video card and there were drivers installed for it, is this correct so far?"
Yes.
"What were the drivers that you had installed on XP?"
I'm not sure I didn't do it.....
"Then you installed Windows and now it only shows a standard VGA adapter, right?"
Yes.
"When you want to play games you get all sorts of errors, what errors are you getting?"
most of the time the game just wont run but the thing that proves it is the game:
"TM nation for ever" the error said I have not good video card and it worked in XP.
"What are the games you are trying to play that were working on XP?"
Few things but the game that was the most important (like I said before) is "TM nation for ever".
"Are you sure you actually have a Video Card?"
Yes.
"Have you opened the computer and had a look the Big Card sticking up out of your motherboard and does your monitor connect to it. (It should be!)"
Yes I saw it and it is connected.
