I play this game called second life and up until the other day it was working fine. Suddenly it stopped working, i emailed the company nd they said that my video driver doesnt support it. When i tried downloading the software they recommend, it gets to the install wizard thing and says that the software i currently have on my laptop is not the right configuration then closes on me. Am i going to have to buy a new video card?? Do they cost alot?? Right now im running an Intel video processor and need to change it to either nVidia GeForce 2, GeForce 4mx, or better or ATI Radeon 8500, 9250, or better.
Any help would be great.

Determine what your video card is, and get the most up to date drivers for it.
You may or may not be able to upgrade the video card in your dell laptop - but the one in it can probably handle the game with no problem (it was up until recently anyway). They may have made a change in the game programming that requires something your video driver can't handle. Get the most up to date one, and if the game requires direct X, get the newest version of it as well.

It sounds like you just have a broken driver to me too so i would go to dell and look in their technical support on downloading a new driver. they are free there so try that first
