Display card problem

[Chas]

I have a new motherboard but the display card is about 5 years old.
When I scroll down in Internet Explorer or Word the page jumps down in
blocks instead of scrolling smoothly.
In Control Panel - System the display card is not showing so I cannot update
drivers or check settings.
Can anyone help please.

Right click on the desktop.. select properties.. click on the advanced
button..

OK, now you can see what your system thinks that it is..

Now go to http://www.lavalys.com .. when the webpage opens, click on the
large green square (Everest Home)..

You can now download and run the program.. this will tell you what you
graphics card really is, and will also lead you straight to the graphics
card manufacturer website.. at this point, it is up to you whether you look
to buy a new one, or just download the latest video drivers for the one that
you have..
