Answer 1

is your lap top on line if not use your computer and go to the video cards web site download updates to CD then put the CD in your laptop to update it.

Answer 2

Im a Computers, Networking, and Electrical Technologies student. I would suggest downgrading your operating system. To clear the harddrive, look for an emergency reset on it. Its rare but some have this. If not, check the jumper settings on your hard drive, because some hard drives have a lock setting where it will stop you at the login screen as an extra safety measure. If this doesnt work, go into safe mode on your computer (when it boots press the delete or F8 key when prompted). The computer will start with minimal drivers and only necessary programs. Then go to the control panel, and check your device manager. Check to see if it is missing any drivers for anything. If so download them from a friends computer and apply them to your computer. If this isnt the issue you can reformat from safe mode, but i would suggest windows XP instead of windows 7 if your computer isnt the fastest. If it runs fine for 7 it will run godly for windows XP. Try this and let me know how it goes.

Answer 3

go to the manufactures support web site and look for your computer (input the details) and look for ALL updated drivers,

make a folder called downloads, make a folder in downloads called update drivers, and download the drivers there.. after you have downloaded, go to that folder and install the new drivers
