    Oh, so you need a driver because you had to uninstall it to solve your other problem. You need to find out what type of integrated adapter you are using and then find its respective driver update.

    I am assuming you are using windows.

    So, at the moment Windows is supplying an 'intrim', general driver, while you try and find a more suitable one.

    If you know the make and model of your card, visit the site and download the latest driver.
    and install. It is likely that you will need to re-start your PC. Windows will then have the right driver to handle your card.

    The problem is that he is using an Integrated Graphics chip rather than an actual Graphics Card.

    Ok, go to this page - http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-009482.htm - and have a read. I am sure it will be a lot better expalained than my efforts.
    It basically shows how to determine the type of graphics controller your board is using or how to asertain this by searching according to the chipset your board is using.

    Please post back if you are still not sure.

    [ot] That's four posts you have created querying the same problem! There is no need to create so many posts - someone will answer your questions eventually. Stop being so impatient! You need to realise our lives don't revolve around this forum (well, maybe for some of us) and we aren't payed to give help..... [/ot]

    Anyway, I have answered your question in one of the other treads you have created.....
