I think that the answer to my problem is quite simple, although i have been unable to find it. When i try to get into my WoW game, it says "Failed to find a suitable display device. Exiting Program." This is either a problem with my video card, or my driver, so i went to dxdiag, and under display notes it said,
"The system is using the generic video driver. Please install video driver provided by the hardware manufacturer.
To test DirectDraw functionality, click the "Test DirectDraw" button above.
Direct3D functionality not available. You should verify that the driver is a final version from the hardware manufacturer."
So i figured i should just find a new video driver, however I am not quite sure which one i need, so i tried driver detective; then came the whole fine print issue, and FINALLY found everest, which helped me get a sound driver, even though i wasn't really looking for one (although i was going to be looking for it eventually).
ANYWAYS, i tried the same thing with my video card drivers, however it keeps sending me to a page that doesn't list a driver, so i just navigate from there, but every driver i try to download, it says, "Setup did not find a driver compatible with your current hardware or operating system. Setup will now exit."
I am at a loss here, because that's where everest sent me, yet it still says i don't need it, and i would really appreciate some type of help because i'm about to just pull my hair out and i don't know what to do.
