You might have intergrated Graphics Processor on the Motherboard. Device manager should have info on Display Adaptor if Graphics Card is installed. Also should show up when right clicking on desktop select Screen Resolutions from menu and select Advanced Settings from screen menu.;):cool:

after returning 3 times for repair, at $40 a pop and no refund after 30 days, this new machine made a great bullet stop for my winchester 12 gauge. oh well back to my old machine, 30 fps in merc but at least it runs without crashing every few minutes
