Video card problems.?

Hi, I've gotten a few problems on my PC lately. It started when my PC crashed 5 days ago. I had to reinstall my OS, but when I was done doing that I noticed my screen was messed up and my sound was not working. I have fixed the sound problem (downloaded RealTek AC97), however there is a problem with my video card. Ever since my PC crashed whenever I scroll down a page, for example, it takes really long for the screen to refresh. I have never had this problem before. I scanned my PC and these are the results: CPU Minimum: Celeron or better You Have: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ PASS CPU Speed Minimum: 500 MHz You Have: 1.99 GHz Performance Rated at 3.20 GHz PASS System RAM Minimum: 64 MB You Have: 510 MB PASS Operating System Minimum: Windows 98/ME/2000/XP You Have: Microsoft Windows XP Professional (Build Service Pack 22600) PASS Video Card Minimum: 3D Accelerated video card You Have: Video Controller (VGA Compatible) () FAIL: Sorry, your video card does not meet this minimum requirement.

1. Whatever your video card is, it's not installed correctly. Reinstall the drivers.
2. Your scan indicates you are using the generic VGA driver that is the most basic of use. Good news is your video card is working, bad news is that you don't have the correct driver for it. If you video card is a stand alone card, meaning it is a separate card installed in a slot on your system board, you can physically look at it and obtain the model and make of it. Then go to the manufacturer website and download a driver. If it is an onboard card, meaning it is part of the system board, you can go to the manufacturer of the board and get the video driver from them.
