Solved: What is my video card?

[WanneJ3150]

hello, I have a notebook pc from systemax and I just recently reformatted and installed xp back on. The one and only problem is I didn't know what my video card was and I tried installing it with the cd's systemax gave me but the drivers on there are not the right ones. Do I have to open my pc up and find it or is there some way I can just open a program and have it find out for me?

Do you have the model info on your pc?
If you do, you should be able to look it up and see what video card came in your pc.

Thanks junker now I know it is a Mobility Radeon 9000
To install a driver what do I do because I don't have a cd with mobility 9000 on it.

Try to setup your display adapter with a standard VGA driver before running setup.

I've not seen that one before. Maybe someone who has will pop in here and help out.
