Drive for Graphics

[seelie]

The graphics on my old computer (about 5yr old) have started to go haywire. I'm wondering if downloading an update on the driver will solve the problem. I've had a message saying it's the graphics accelerator. I've looked for free downloads, but they all end up wanting payments. Does anyone know of a safe free driver site to get a download. Grateful for any advice, thanks.

From the manufacturers site for either the computer or the graphics card.

For example, if you have a Dell computer with a nVidia graphics card the first place to look is Dells site and then nvideas site.

Thanks for a quick reply Chuck. The computer is an HP Pavilion and the driver is ati2dvag.dll (I think). Does that mean I would have to go to the HP site?

Yes

and ati2dvag.dll is a single file, the driver will be made up of several files, but just download the correct driver for your exact model and version of windows and double click it and it will install everything you need.

(sounds like you have the ATI graphics card BTW if there is more than one option for your computer)

Cheers! This is the second time you have helped me with my computer. The last time it was a live webside attached to my desktop which you told me how to get rid of. Genius - thanks.

Did as you suggested - all sorted. Big thank you Chuck.
