Finding what graphics card I use
Hi,
I was wondering how I find out using WinXP what graphics card i have in my laptop. I had a look around in the systems control panel option and couldn't find much (or at least i didn't think i could) so I was wondering how I can find this out. -- cheers |

Re: Finding what graphics card I use
Visit the support web site of the manufacturer of your laptop
and search for the specs pertaining to your specific model laptop hardware configuration. -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User Microsoft Community Newsgroups news://msnews.microsoft.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "MR EDDD" wrote: | Hi, | I was wondering how I find out using WinXP what graphics card i have in my | laptop.

Re: Finding what graphics card I use
MR EDDD,
In Control Panel and System my graphics card is listed under Display adapters. If you need to know more about the card you can then go to the vendor site. With XP Pro it is here: Control Panel|System|Hardware|Device Manager, but I think it is the same in XP Home.

Re: Finding what graphics card I use

As its a laptop the video is not upgradable Any drivers should be sourced only from your laptop manu.
