Check that you have the correct video drivers installed as a first measure..

Go to this website..

http://www.lavalys.com

Download Everest Home version.. it's free..

Run it and go to the Display section.. click on the little cross and then
select GPU from the list that opens up.. the data to the right will tell you
what video card is in your system.. if you look at the bottom of the list,
you will notice that Everest thoughtfully includes links to the video card
manufacturer, from which you can obtain and load the latest drivers..

Open Everest again, and check to see what motherboard is installed.. I
believe that the sound part is integrated into the motherboard.. use the
'Product Information' link at the bottom of that section to get you to the
manufacturer website..

Once there, look for a 'Technical Support' or 'download' heading, where you
should find a subheading for drivers.. most likely there will be four types
covering IDE, LAN, Sound, and Modem..
