Computer question

Hi everyone!!

I have a question regarding something that has been driving me crazy and was wondering if any of you computer savvy individuals could help me out.

I purchased a computer game for my daughter that she has been begging for forever and I can't get it to work. I keep getting a message that says my "Graphics Adaptor has experienced an internal error" and that I should " contact my graphics Adaptor manufacturer for tech support"

All greek to me!!

Anyway, when it comes to the inner workings of a computer I am clueless.

Please help.

Thanks and Aloha!

Is the computer new..........or not being cheeky and older version? sometimes you need a good graphics card to run some of these games

yeh, you might need a better graphics card. Or reinstall the one u have

The computer is brand new. I just bought it last week. How do I find out what kind of graphics card I have (where do I look)

Told you I was clueless ops:

Are you running Windows XP?

yes CC, that I actually know....LOL

sometimes XP can be a pain

I'll agree with that Lel

We have 3 computers here running xp and I've never had any problems with it...............personally I think it's 100% better than windows 98 or Millenium

What comp you got and what game are you trying to install.

you have to got to the device manager you get there by going to the control panel then system then Hardware then device manager in there is all the compents that are in your meachine near the top click on the + next to display adpters and it will show the type of video card you have installed.

You might need windows updateing since it's new you def need SP1.
