lol.

Friend's wise words.

It should be Plug and Play.

Go to device manager and click action, scan for hardware changes.

When the box comes up, click Install the software automatically.

Should work.

You might need another restart.
When you restart, the box will come up.
Then follow my instructions.

Do you remember, your Video Cards name though?

insert the cd included with the graphics card... install the drivers then reboot, the 3d card should install itself when windows reboots

What EvilAzza said should work.

However, you didn't mention any specs about your comp.
If it was custom built, you may have not recieved a CD.
If the computer was retail bought, you should have got the CD, so follow EvilAzza's directions.

Both should work.

Alright, right click on My computer, hit manage.

Click on Device Manager.

Click on Action, and press Scan For Hardware changes.

A box should come up now.

roxer, if you tried installing it from "a list of devices" and then canceled upon not finding it you will probably have to click "add hardware" in 'control panel' as it may not pop up on its own

you could try downloading "everest home edition" and look under 'computer' -> 'summary' then scroll to video adapters click on the graphics card and click 'driver download' its a little more automated
