Re: video card

Great suggestions as always Jimmy!

What game are you trying to run and what does the window say specifically?
I've seen some applications display windows complaingin about your video
card because they want a new driver while others are suggesting the card
isn't powerful enough to run the game (for example, not enough display
memory).
