No need to "check the video card driver", an updated driver ain't gonna
help.
You probably have an on-board video chip. You need to replace this with a
"real" video card.
You need to know what vid cards your motherboard can accomodate; PCI, AGP or
PCI Express. If it can accomodate AGP or PCI Express then you need to know
the level of AGP or PCI Express support.
If you can tell us your PC make and model or the installed motherboard if
it's a custom build, then we can give you better and more detailed advice.
Are your other scores reasonable? 4.7 or higher? Is this a new computer or
and older computer upgraded to Windows Vista? If it is an older computer, it
just might not be a viable candidate for Vista.
