A picture is worth a thousand words huh? Anyways what type of Video card do you have? Is it nVidia or ATI? What model number is it?

Oh yeah sorry about that. I'm new here (obviously)

It's Intel Extreme Graphics Driver or something like that

 

[Zidane24]

Can you tell me the model number your Dell is? Like a Dell Inspirion "some number" etc...

 

[AeroX23]

Dell Dimension 2400

Does an Intel 845 G/GL sound like your video card?

 

[AeroX23]

Yeah

Ok I believe that is it...download this driver to your desktop and right click on the installer and choose run as administrator

then go to the intel homepage and download&install the correct driver

good luck

hey i think we did fix the video card issue in this thread yesterday.
nevermind, Click start and in the Start search box, type dxdiag and press Enter.
In that window, click on the Display tab and post its screen-shot here. I highly doubt Aero will work on your computer as it requires a graphic card of 128MB or higher.

I took a glance at them myself and all of his drivers are XP/2000 only...Hopefully the one from cNet might do it...

Yeh... it might not work..

Go ahead and restart but unfortunately I have been reading about your video card and it doesn't support Aero (video ram too low). At least you have the most up to date driver for it now

 

[AeroX23]

Ok. Thanks guys
