Hi.
I recently performed a fresh install on my laptop.I bought it with Vista, but chose to have it replaced with XP. It's a Toshiba. Of couse, after the fresh install, my computer was left with practically nothing, so I needed to download a whole load of stuff to get to work like it did before. I've got the sound working perfectly, but I can't get any of my PC games working, like Star Wars KOTOR, because it says that my computer is missing 3D hardware. I should also mention that I had no problems before changing to XP. Its got enough speed and memory and everything else. I suppose my real question is: Where can I download a recent piece of 3D hardware, or anything that'll do the trick. I've been searching around online for a long time, and I've had no success. By the way, I also download the lastest DirectX, but still nothing, and I can't even download Display Drivers, like ATI Redaon, because of missing requirements. Thanks for reading! |

The problem is that you have not installed the drivers for the Graphics chip which is vital for gaming.

Do you know the specific model e.g. "Toshiba Satellite Pro A300-2C4"?

Also, you can go to System -> Device Manager in the control panel and look for yellow warning signs (/!\) - those devices don't have drivers and you'll have to fetch them manually. The proper drivers should be on the site.
I don't know why you'd switch to two-generation-old XP now though.
