What make/model of motherboard are you using? Also, for XP, are you running Service Pack 2 or 3? If not, SP3, why not?

If you are using the drivers that originally came with the motherboard, I am sure they are very out of date. Updating the drivers will likely help a lot with your current situation.

I can use the motherboard information to locate current drivers for you to install.

Please clarify.

What programming application are you using? Looks like you are making a call to graphics.h, is it even loaded?

The problem you are having is not a driver or hardware issue. It is a problem with your programming application/compiler or how you have configured.

It sounds like something is not configured properly (or loaded) in TurboC/C++. Just to be sure, your code will not compile on your machine, but will on another. Is that correct?

If so, I would uninstall the application on your system and then completely re-install it. Please clarify.

Good luck!

There is no difference between a video card and a graphics card. Another term often used is GPU. They all refer to the same thing.

You are using a "video card" when you use the on-board video adapter that is built into your motherboard. Adding a stand-alone video card usually diables the on-board video and takes over the video functions.

So, have you tried to install a stand alone video card in your system? If so, did it make a difference?
