Video Drivers installed?

do you know the model of card? You can get this information via the "dxdiag" tool (start->Run, dxdiag <enter>) or via device manager (start->Run devmgmt.msc <enter>). if I had to conjecture at this point I would say it sounds like perhaps the drivers aren't properly installed
I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

      Well I think I found the general information.
      It's XP service pack 3 home edition 2002
      intel core 2 quad cpu
      Q6600 @ 2.40Ghz
      2.0 Gh of ram

      It's an AGI card, dad knows the model and all that it's reallly long but i think he downloaded drivers form the AGI website.
      under disk drives (hope this is it >.>) it says
      WDC WD800AAJS-00WA0

      I have directX because when i try and re instal it it says it cant do anythign cause its already in there. However a few games i've tried said i don't have it.

        The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

        To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver.

        It's a "other device"
        manufacturer unknown
        PCI bus 1 device 0 function 0

          Even if it is a PCI video card, it should be all right.
