ANSWER: Hi Rachel, do you know what video card you have or if it's built into the motherboard (not a separate video card in that case)? Is this a brand name computer? If so, give me the brand and exact model so we can try looking up the correct drivers for it.
QUESTION: alright the brand is dell and im not quite sure on the video card or the model. its big and ugly though!Haha. but i will try driver max and thank you sooo much! if i ever have another problem with my computer i will definately use this site. thank you again!
ANSWER: No problem Rachel. Let me know if you still run into any problems.
Otherwise, provide me the model of that Dell computer. It should be listed in the front cover plate of the computer.
QUESTION: the drivermax wont install because the computer wont let me use a USB stick for the software. But now when i do try to install a display adapter from the list it does not have my computers manufacturer and when it boots up it just goes to my background with no start button or menu bar. Only the mouse moves around the screen. please help me!!:p THANKS!!
Answer Hi Rachel, try burning DriverMax to a CD so this computer can read it.
Can you give me the model of your Dell computer? Maybe we can locate the drivers for you directly instead of relying on DriverMax to do this (which is not always accurate)?
