hello, im having problems with my screen card i think.
web pages are flickering by frames in every web page when scrolling or watching movies..
also same flickering in all programs when scrolling or moving objects/boxes..
i recently had to re install win xp after a complete breakdown..
so all re installed and workin fine, besides this insanly irritating detail..
tryed to find out my video/screen card model trough different options..
but no one seems to be able to recognize any card..
tryed go to my dell dealers site and find out what was installed in it from factory,
so i could get the driver that fits..
found the correct nvidia driver and installed it,
but nothing changed, and it seems as if nvidia didnt really get installed.
pleaase help,
this is mighty annoying..

What type of procecor do you have Intel or AMD?

First up try,
Control panel, System, Hardware, device manager, Expand "Display Adaptor" Right click on your adaptor and re-install the driver. If it wants to use the same driver, direct it to where your driver is saved. (Install from the list..... "Next" Check "Include this option" (look for your driver location) , "Next")

If unsuccessful, try turn off PC, remove your video card and put it in another slot and re-boot. (You may have to remove a slot cover)

in device manager there's no display adapter to expand.
but theres a other devices with ? on it,
video controller (vga compatible)
i tryed to install that trough found new hardware wizard several times, but that dont work.
im goin for the changing slot for the card now,
sounds like a logical way to locate the problem or fix it.
thx

ok, i opened my pc and took out the screen card cleaned for dust,
but it wont fit in any other slot then that already in use..
so i just made sure it wall all plugged in and clean.
then i restarted, and problem is still there..

or is there another way around this?
its an nvidia card, but it still will not recognize the driver install
