How do I fix my video card?

The video card (driver?) is broken on my laptop. When I try to do something that requires an up to date driver, it says to update it, but I can't update it because according to my laptop, there is no brand or version or any information about it. One thing that might have caused this is that I removed a corrupted hard drive and inserted a hard drive that I had from a different laptop that had the screen broken. The computer works completely except for that one problem. Any ideas how to fix it?|||Yeah, instead of rambling about tis and tat, and your lappy being dumb as a box of rox and not telling you anything, in a whole paragraph. Then you could have made the effort to put a manufacture and model number as to what laptop you have... My crystal ball broke a few years ago, and not many others still have theirs either...|||If the video / graphics card is really just missing a driver, then you can try googling the brand of the device and look for the driver manually.



Some older models are hard to find and wont be discovered by using the Windows Driver Updater.



Just go to your Device Manager ( Start-Control Panel-Hardware and Sound and look into the Device Manager for that listed video-graphics card / adapter.

Then just write it down and google the brand and download and install the driver manually.



If that wont work you can try to download and install another video card driver from Intel

INTEL GRAPHICS MEDIA ACCELERATOR http://downloadcenter.intel.com/



Type in your device ( Processor-Chipset ) name and download the right driver.



It might work.|||Download the correct graphics card chip set driver from the laptop manufacturers support website by model number and installed operating system. You do know installing the hard drive from another laptop into it installs a illegal copy of Windows and some of the hardware drivers and utilities may not be the same unless both are the same as to all installed hardware and same exact models.

Go to start, click all programs, click Windows update and click scan for updates and then set your system for auto updates and install this will keep every thing including the drivers up to date.
