Welcme!

Try using Windows Update to install the drivers. Type devmgmt.msc into the start menu, right-click on your card, and select Update Driver Software.

i tried using that but it doesnt read my card. it just says standard graphics updater.

is it a laptop you are trying to install on ? try these drivers NVIDIA DRIVERS 179.48 BETA

 

[smooveprined]

nope it not its a desktop any ideas?

Sounds like an AGP card on a motherboard without proper chipset drivers.

smooveprined could you grab this please,

try these drivers ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support- if you can tell us the name of the graphics adaptor it would help us alot more or even the motherboard it maybe you have integrated graphics

did you try these drivers ? also with it being an old system you are trying to install on you may have to use compatibility mode http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/316-compatibility-mode.html

in the post i made about compatibility mode if you click on the blue "compatibility mode" it will take you to a tutorial page that will explain it .

the link i gave to the driver if you click on the link it will take you to that page , download the driver, extract to somewhere convenient for you then run the setup.exe file in compat mode
