I have a video card driver question?

well, i downloaded a game and when i tried to play it an error message popped up and said "unable to run because your video card drivers are out of date or unsupported. Please make sure you have the latest video card drivers installed".

so does anyone know what i should to??|||Check that your drivers are up to date:

Right click My Computer>properties>Hardware tab, select Device Manager, expand Sound, video and game controllers, right-click the adapter>properites, (write this adapter name down) select Drivers tab, select update (use internet option). After installed you probably need to reboot. If your drivers are up to date, look for a readme file in the game directory or in the game itself or the games website, to determine which video cards are supported.|||goto th manufactors site nd search for drivers|||The video game requires features that your video card doesn't have such as shading, T+L, etc. You can try updating the drivers but you will probably have to buy a better video card to run that game.|||Before you switch drivers, download and install the latest Direct X from Microsoft for your OS version. The Microsoft site tells you how to do it. If you have the latest then the install will tell you. Many times the error message that these game sites send out is due to attempting a direct X command that your system does not support. All they know is that they did not get the response they were looking for, they allways blame the video driver. if you have to download a video driver then do so directly from the vendor of the video card. There are a lot of 1/2 AXXed drivers that come up in an internet search.
