Hi. I recently installed Windows 7 on my Compaq Evo D51 when i installed anew hard drive. I find that the graphics drivers installed are unable to run installed games because they are not compatible. I have tried to upgrade but cant find any suitable drivers. I was advised to run the driver in compatibility mode. How do I do this. Thanks in advance for your help.
 
Solution
right click on the gfx driver installer and select the compatibility tab. if the tabs not there than your copy of windows is a basic version which doesn't support compatibility mode.

really all you need to do is go to amd or nvidia and select your gfx card from the list and install the driver thats selected for your o.s.
your unlikely to find a newish driver on the compaq site. dont worry they will work as long as you select the rite 1 for your o.s..
