= Graphics driver update isn't effective =

If standard updates for your existing video card drivers aren't proving to be effective, you can attempt to update your graphics card drivers from other sources.

1. Find out the name of your graphics card by running dxdiag (howto) and going to the Display tab.

2. Once you know the name of your graphics card and its current version, you can then go to the maufacturers web site, some of which are:
 * ATI/AMD http://support.amd.com/US/GPUDOWNLOAD/Pages/index.aspx
 * nVidia http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx
 * Intel http://downloadcenter.intel.com/

3. Look through the results for drivers with a more recent version for you to download and install. Be prepared though to accept that older graphics cards may not have more recent drivers.
