Sorry for the hectic title, but it is true, allow me to explain from the beginning. Recently I have updated to Windows Vista Basic Edition x32bit. Now I do understand that whenever you upgrade your computer tries to read the old graphics card and if it cannot it will install the basic one. Now normally that wouldnt be a problem I would just go online and download a Radeon Graphics card but now here comes the problem. I have tried downloading multiple graphics cards and all of them say they cannot run on my computers hardware. I have tried downloading the most simple one yet none of them work at all. I am forced to use my computer in 640 x 480 and it is KILLING ME! I cant see crap and I cant do crap. Please can someone PLEASE tell me where to find a Video card that will change my screen resolution. I have nowhere else to look I have searched everywhere so please help.

Here are my system specs:

Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00Ghz
32 Bit Operating System
Current Adaptor: Standard VGA Graphics Adaptor

Hi Arguntom and welcome to Vista Forums :party:

What is the make and model number of your motherboard?

Download, install and run this utility: http://www.cpuid.com/download/cpuz/cpuz_153_setup.exe

The 2 tabs that I am interested in are Mainboard and Graphics as shown in the images below. These are from my system, yours will probably be different.
