Help!
Hey there,
I'm 13 & new to the Seven Forums, I live in Australia. I have been taking apart computers for parts and am learning some things about computers. I understand a fair bit about computers.
I was just wondering how I can identify my graphics card as in Device Manager, it displays "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter". I am sure it displayed something different before I upgraded to Windows 7. I think I may be missing a driver.
Either way, I used to have Windows XP and the game I wish to play worked then, now I have upgraded, it no longer works. This could be because the driver for the graphics card was erased. I am using whatever card comes with this computer, as I have left it unaffected since the purchase of the computer, and all I have altered is the disc drive and hard drive.
Ever since I upgraded to Windows 7, the game won't start and it gives me a graphics error "We are sorry, but the operating system failed to provide the window to render the game graphics in. Please consult the game manual for known workarounds that might improve the game's compatibility with your hardware.". This is for the game "18 Wheels of Steel: American Long Haul". I have checked and this game is compatible with Windows 7.
My specs are below, if you need to know anything else, or know how to help then please comment.
Thanks!
