Graphics Driver
Product Detected Intel® 945G
Current Driver Installed 7.14.10.1322
A customized computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver Update Utility is not able to update the driver. Installing a generic Intel driver instead of the customized computer manufacturer driver may cause technical issues. Contact your computer manufacturer for the latest driver for your computer.

Looks like I have my answer.

I was afraid of that. It's the reason I don't like to buy pre-built systems. What's the exact make and model of your box... um.. I mean system?

Sounds like an integrated graphics card, hence problem could be a dusty inside

Sounds like? We've already established the fact that it is.

am I wrong or could she not buy a new graphics card or would that be an issue for her to try to properly format etc

does not hurt to open up the computer and give it a blow job. Even if it does not need one I am sure it still would like to have one and not complain

I'm pretty good at giving blow jobs..... ummm.... what I mean to say is that I have blown this computer out on a monthly basis. With a dog and a cat in the house...... and they do love to hang out by my feet under the computer desk cabinet..... it's become a necessity. Do you remember when I talked about the fans running constantly and loudly? Well...... that's when it became apparent to me to be more mindful in the blow job department.

I wouldn't spend the dough on a new video card even if it would work. That system is quite old and behind the times. link... http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/ca/e...8260-78308260-78308260-79685091-80159593.html

If it was mine I would back up all my important stuff and use it until it blows... up... and then I wood buy me a new one.

I also wouldn't try and reinstall Vista. I did that on a Acer system that had loads of proprietary drivers and it gave me no end of grief.

Edit: There is a newer version of the driver but I don't know if that would solve her issue so I'm not going to recommend updating it. She skeers me.

Seems like I got it handed down to me just yesterday.......

I do have another computer sitting in my bedroom that my brother just gave to me. A used one. Haven't even looked at it yet. It's just the computer itself. I'd have to use my monitor, keyboard and mouse from this one.

I'll give this one a good blow tomorrow and let the chips land where they may. If it blows.... it blows.

Man! Computers are soooooo complex. :willy_nilly:

....... and Sugarpie..... no worries. You already know that my bite is worse than my bark. Grrrrrrooooowwwwlllllllll....... Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..........
