Bodaggit23 Active Member Sep 27, 2009 #2 It should have made you reboot after install. Ideally, you should have uninstalled your old drivers first, restarted, then reinstalled your new drivers, restart.

S StormedSea New Member Sep 27, 2009 #3 Sooo, do I need to completely restart, and do what you said? Or will it work fine without doing that?

kimsland New Member Sep 27, 2009 #6 All your updated drivers are here: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx?c=us&cs=555&l=en&s=biz Please note: that your system does not have the option to install an addon Video card And therefore cannot play most graphic intensive games Basically its very old Last edited: Sep 27, 2009

S StormedSea New Member Sep 27, 2009 #7 Yeah, I've established that. Just wondering, what would I need to upgrade, so I get the option of having a graphics card.?

S StormedSea New Member Sep 27, 2009 #9 My problem is money. My parents won't buy anything over 250, and seeing as upgrading this one is impossible, I have to settle with this one.

Bodaggit23 Active Member Sep 27, 2009 #11 As I see it, you have a couple of options. One of these in your price range: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010380048 1069609642&name=PCI Or we can talk about getting some budget parts and basically build you a new computer using a couple of the parts from your current system. That could be done for $250, but $300 would be more comfortable. Basically, use your existing case, hard drive, and optical drive. $266.94 AMD Sempron 140 Sargas 2.7GHz ($39.99) Foxconn A74MX-K ($45.99) G.SKILL 1GB DDR2 800 ($16.99) EVGA GeForce 7200GS 512MB ($27.99) Windows XP Home SP3 ($89.99) XCLIO GOODPOWER 500W ($45.99)
