Okay so I had a decent computer that ran fine,but all the sudden I woke up and my mom was telling me what happened to the computer,it stopped working.
She then took it to get it repaired and the guy transferred our stuff to an older version computer box,It seems as if my computer is faster but I cant play any games! I tried to play graal PC and it said no graphics card dectected or something..I went to Nvidia site and tried to scan for a compatible graphics card but it didnt work..I tried to manually download 3 graphics cards,didn't work.

I really need help,this may not be on the right section because I dont see any offtopic Q&A section. But please help >.< All my games are gone and when I downloaded graal it was all messed up looking..Btw not graal fb..graal PC.

Working help gets a rep.  

Can I have the OS please? (e.g. Windows 7, Vista, XP)  

That means there is physically no graphics card in the motherboard, you gotta go out and buy one and install it, or take the one from your old computer and put it in.  

The graphics card determines how good the graphics are. Depends if its a computer or laptop. If its a computer, get a guy thats trained to replace the graphics card with a better one. If you have a laptop, the only thing you can do it buy a new one.

I fixed the problem with my computer, I just need to know the specs so I can help.

Well, since graphic cards are hardware, you can can't really download one :l so that's your first problem.

Perhaps the computer repair person didn't put the card back in properly or put it back in at all for that matter. You may want to check to see if its all hooked up right and if not you should probably contact that computer repair peron.

I meant driver,you can download drivers. http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

When I open graal it says please install a driver for your graphics card.  

Open Device Manager (Start>Search Device Manager)
I am not sure, but go to graphic drivers and try to update/reinstall your current one.

Okay I went to Device Manager theres nothing that says Graphic Drivers. I have a graphics card but no driver I guess,in fact i just got a random pop up saying. "Your graphics driver did not install properly."  

If its a laptop, you will have to buy a new one. If its a computer, the graphics card is replaceable, ask a repair professional to put a new graphics card in your computer and set it up.

Its a desktop,why in the world would I pay for all that when all I need is to install a driver? Its probably I cant find a compatible driver. Man browser games suck v.v  

So, is it a laptop or a computer? Here's the difference. A laptop is like a portable computer, it can be folded up, 1 half is a keyboard, the other half is a screen. A computer is bigger, and cannot be transported daily. There is a screen, and near it is a big rectangular box. So now please answer, is it a laptop or computer?

I'm sorry. I meant display adapters. Try that.  

There's always the possibility that this new computer does not have dedicated graphics and is using inbuilt Intel, which would mean you would have to check for drivers off the Intel website.

Here's how we can find out!

• Run dxdiag.exe from the start menu.
• Write down both the 'System Model' and 'Processor'
• Select the 'Display 1' tab
• Write down the Device name and manufacturer
• Reply to this thread with all the information you have found

If in doubt, just take a screen shot of the 'System' and 'Display 1' tab and we can take the relevant information from that.

From this, we can determine if you are running a Laptop/Desktop and if you have dedicated graphics or inbuilt. From there, we might be able to give you the exact link you need to download your graphics driver.
