Default *n00b Alert* - I Need Help With My Graphics Card Driver

Well, basically my computer has recently been resurrected. (It was dead for about a week and a half before today, with what i call the Blue Screen of Death)... and we had a factory reset done on it.. but the guy that helped us revive it wasn't a pro, just a family friend, and he said:

"Now you need to do some homework and download a graphics card driver"

..Or something along those lines.

It's being slow (not in loading).. but in things like Scrolling and dragging windows around and things.. (You probably know what i'm talking about)... and probably really bad things with games (I've not yet tried one).

So does anybody know what to do?

My computer is a Dell Dimension 5000 (XP), and the graphics card is an ATI Radeon (Not sure about any further details).

Any help would be great.. cheers.

Default *n00b Alert* - I Need Help With My Graphics Card Driver

Text book graphics driver problem.

You will need to download the driver from here: http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html

You will need the graphics card model, I think you have a Radeon X300SE.
