Latest video drivers on my computer

first of all you will have to identify your video card driver for that follow these steps:

1. goto control panel->display->settings.
2. The "Settings" tab displays the monitor and display adapter under "Display:"

now connect to the internet and search for the latest driver of your video card

when you have found the right driver then download it on your machine.Before installing your new display drivers, always remember to uninstall your previous display driversmost of the display drivers now a days are unified and one software is used for multiple display drivers.the main advantage of these drivers are that they automatically determine your video driver and installs its settings.if you get a wrong display driver it will display "hardware not present error"

hope this helps

Hi Lindacollins,

Here your answer is indeed 'yes' you can update and install the latest video drivers of your computer. Wondering how to know the type of drivers you need to look for?thats not a problem any more. What you need to do is simply right click on your desktop and select 'Properties'.

Under the 'Display Properties' window, select the 'Settings' tab.

It will show you the type of video card manufacturer and chipset type as shown;

You will need to look for names such as NVIDIA, ATI, Intel, MAtrox SiS or S3.

You can now download the drivers. Hope this helps. Thanks
