Yeah, the snipping tool is better IMO, as you can just click&drag the area you want to capture

O.K. here it is:

I think the problem is BIOS. look at the date..

8/20/2004. It needs to be updated. then he should go to.

http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

that is the Win7 Driver page at NVidia.

so how do I update my BIOS??

 

[The Cool Guy]

Download the installer from the link and after the download completes, run the installer, and after the installation is complete it may prompt for a restart, after the reboot, your graphics card may show up.

 

[DanR]

When I try to download the WIN7 drivers from the NVIDIA web site it says this:

Then post your screen shot with the CPU tab open.

Don't know why you are downloading Display drivers yet, first you need the computer to recognize the one you have and by the sound of it you don't have one anyway aside from the integrated one, first you will need to update the Bios, I found one for your board dated 15th February 08 from here. http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/BIOS/Abit/Abit-NF7-S-V2-Bios-11.shtml.

Then you will need to install the Nforce drivers but the only ones I can find are from 2004 WinXP - UDP (5.10)

If that manages to install then you may have a chance of it seeing your display adapter.

I think if you can't find any drivers other then legacy drivers then it's time to upgrade your hardware.

The BIOS update is not working..... (the download link is not working...)

 

[DanR]

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......

 

[The Cool Guy]

I told you to post a screen shot from the CPU-Z, keeping the CPU tab open. :sarc:

 

[Captain Zero]

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.

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.
