I'll start with my WHOLE story.

One day my uncle sent me this laptop computer with a virus in it -_-, so i reformated it with the WindowsXP CD it came with, but i do not have the driver CDs(neither does he) so basically i have a fresh copy of windowsXP home edition SP2(am currently upgrading to SP3) with no driver CD's to install my drivers.

I have no idea what my devices are so i went to device manager... it didnt show me any device names... so i opened up the laptop( not the whole case) and found Intel(r) wireless model so i can actually go to the internet now cause i've downloaded the driver with my other computer.

now the real problem is that i can't find my graphics card device, not even in device manager, i've tried view: hidden devices, refresh devices and all that and yet there is not "display adapters" in device manager

i'll provice a little bit of imformation for i don't know everything about computers...

Intelcoreduo processor
Pheonix Trustcore tm(BIOS i think)

and im not sure what else. please help me i've even tried downloading nvidia driver cause i know it's a geforce but i dont know what kind of slot it is i.e.(pci, abg, pcie-express)

QUICK REPLIES PLEASE im gonna kill myself cuz this is the only computer i can game on.
