You can check your video adapter manufacturer's web site for a newer drive.
What adapter do you have and have you checked the current driver's 3D
acceleration settings?

know how to get the list in device manager but not what to look for,your
insight would be helpful cheers.

In the Device Manager double click the "display adapter" to see the entry
for your specific adapter. Right click on it, select Properties and look at
the driver tab for details about your driver. It will give you the date and
the version number. Then you could visit the manufacturer's web site
(Nvidia? ATI?) and see if there's a newer driver. Updating the driver may
not make a big difference, but it doesn't cost anything to find out.

nice one , i will look in to it.

Presumably your system was supplied with Vista Basic, in which case it would
most likely be a low end system unsuitable for some of the more intensive
games anyway.

Short of inserting a higher end graphics card, assuming that your
motherboard actually has a slot for one (not all cheaper computers do),
there is probably little you can do.

Is there anything you can't run or that doesn't run to your satisfaction?
The performance index is only a guide to how well some stuff will run, and
if you don't have a problem with what you are already doing, you might want
to forget the performance index..

I wasn't slating anything. Vista Basic is the choice for low end computers
when supplied OEM, and one can't expect too much of them. Maybe next time
you post, you should make aware the make and model just so nobody else
upsets you..

nuclear fallout from getting into houses..
