I never cease to amaze myself...I know what kind of video card I have (I think), but I dont seem to be seeing the driver for it in my list?

What Window are you looking at?

I suggest you right click on My Computer - Manage - Device Manager -> Video adaptors.

That should show you the details of your videocard.

Your drivers should show up in the add/remove software list, if they donot, I suggest you check to see if they are installed properly.

    If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.

    If you use Windows XP, Windows update may have drivers for you that you can use.
