Vista Home Basic (32bit?)
 
 

Video Driver Needed :: Toshiba Laptop

I have a Toshiba laptop with Windows Vista Home Basic 32bit.

After purchasing a 3d program, I discovered that the "3d" part of the program screws up every time I try and use it.

After a little learning, I discovered that I cannot upgrade the video card and, that upgrading the RAM would help either.

So, now I'm on to questing after a new video driver. Problem is, I have no idea what to look for. And, after reading many forums and comments all over the net ... I am a little afraid of installing a new driver. Seems a lot of people a practically destroyed their machines. Scary stuff.

Can anyone direct me to right driver for my situation?
