Ok I've just been to the Mesh site you need to register to access their driver downloads site.  I would suggest you go this route as they will have the right driver downloads for your system.  Here is the address http://www.meshcomputers.com/Default.aspx?PAGE=RUNTIME_OLD_SUPPORT_HOME

It's your video that is missing now. Right click on your desktop and select properties, got to the settings tab then select advanced. Select adapter and tell us what it says.  Also go to my site and download PC wizard under usefull software links.  Run that and let us know what it says for video

Thanks Essexboy - just downloaded PC Wizard. Excellent program and it leaves the likes of Sysandra (free version) or Blearc Advisor in the shade.

Cheers,

Dave

OK you have an ATI video card.  Highlight the video card and see if it gives you a model on the information tab.  If so go to ATI at  https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&folderID=293 and download the driver for your card

Edit if you have an integral video card then go for the motherboard option

I'm not sure whether I do have an integral video card to be honest. I've never had to take anything out or insert anything into my tower though, it that helps. :D

It gives me this if I highlight the video card...



Any idea which card I have to go for?

Download the ATI adapter utility from here https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&folderID=293

Quote
Use the Adapter Information Tool (ATIINFO.EXE) to determine which ATI GRAPHICS CHIP (ASIC) is installed in your machine. This will tell you which DRIVERS and TECHNICAL INFORMATION on this website apply to you. Additional information such as the bus type, BIOS part number and memory size are also displayed.

That utility doesn't help I'm afraid as it doesn't recognise what is installed on my machine.

I think it's all on the motherboard to be honest.

Ok you have the pci express rv515 card
Quote
ATI Technologies expects to begin volume shipments of its 90nm graphics processing units (GPUs), the R520, R530 and RV515, in the middle of the third quarter, as unspecified issues for manufacturing on 90nm technology will soon be solved, according to ATI Taiwan. ATI also plans to introduce another flagship chip, the R580, in early 2006.



Looking for the driver now I think it will be a radeon

Yep it's a Radeon x1300 driver download here https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894

That is based on the rv515 chipset
