Solved Video card changed after re-installing windows.

[Dystieguy]

Hi, I have this problem with my laptop, it had windows 7 on it with a ATI Radeon video card driver.
One day I decided to install windows xp on it because it was lagging too much, and after that I went to device manager and saw that there was no video card driver at all and have been trying to fix that for hours without any results. So I decided to get windows 7 back and this time I had a video card driver but it was a "Standard VGA Adapter" I tried to fix it but the only video card driver I got is a "intel corporation 915GM/915GMS/915GME-910GML/910GMLE Embedded Graphics Chipset Function 1" so if you guys know how to fix that please help me.

I tired, when i install a intel driver it tells me ''this computer does not meet the requirements'' and when i install a amd driver it just doesn't do anything... Maybe i'm not installing the correct driver or maybe i'm not installing it correctly. the only driver i got is a bad one from intel ''intel corporation 915GM/915GMS/915GME-910GML/910GMLE Embedded Graphics Chipset Function 1''

What is the HP laptop model number? You're not going to have any success locating drivers if you don't know what you're looking for.
