Trouble running SL

[Nervanah]

First off I apologize if i posted this in the wrong section.

I have a 2007 Dell Inspiron e1505 laptop (windows vista) 32 bit operating system

Processor: intel(r) core(tm)2 cpu

 

Im not sure what my video card is or how I would find out but I have run SL on it before .. however my laptop was fixed after a virus & they reinstalled everything ... now when I downloaded/installed SL again .. (on pheonix & the one from the website) i get a message saying "Second Life is unable to run because your video card drivers did not install properly, are out of date, or are for unsupported hardware

 

I would REALLY appreciate some help ... thank you in advance!

Hello Nervanah. To check out your graphics card in Windows Vista, right click on your My Computer --> Properties --> Advanced system settings --> Hardware --> Device manager --> Display adapter and here is your graphics card name. After that you need to get (download) the last video drivers. Let us know about your card and we will suggest how you will get the drivers.

thank you for the help so far ... under display adapters it says

 

NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM)

You are welcome.

LoveAngeL is right, the drivers from (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM) just let you do the basics, they are no good for Second Life, you need to install the ones from the nVidia website.

What exactly should I be downloading from that site?
