To get the information of your video card you can use the windows dump
open a command (DOS) prompt and type debug
then when the - appears type: D C000:0040
this will display the dump and to the right some legable info should be available, also type: D C000:0090 for further dump info on your video card.

In windows 98/95 the first dump is: D C000:0010
(this one i already knew, took me some trial and error to find it in XP)



From this method (over msn) i was able to get the following from chatmod1's computer:
C000:0040 33 53 02 91 00 00 00 00-4D 01 01 4E 56 49 44 49 3S......M..NVIDI

meaning your card is a gForce 2 MX400, 64MB video card and XP drivers are available from The nVidia Website
