Update A Vga Video Card Driver On Windows Xp

A video card with both DVI (white) and VGA (blue) outputs.


Keeping your computer's video card drivers up to date is very important to the healthy operation of any computer, as video card drivers help video games, movies and other visual-intensive programs run properly. Keeping these drivers updated is simple, requiring you to do next to nothing apart from clicking a couple of buttons.


Instructions


1. Determine the video card in your machine. If you do not know what kind of video card is in your computer, open your Start menu, go to "Control Panel" and select "Hardware Devices" or your OS equivalent. Scroll down the list of active and recognized hardware until you find your video card.


2. Download the updated drivers for your video card. Drivers for your video card can be found at the card manufacturer's website as well as the chip provider's website. For reference, the only two chip providers are nVidia and ATi.


3. Double-click on the Driver Installer that you download and follow the basic instructions. All the instructions will ask of you is to agree to the terms of service and to confirm that you want to install the new drivers over the old ones. Click "Yes" on both accounts and the installation process is automatically completed from there.
