How can I find out what kind or graphical card do my PC has?
Answers:
Actually any of the previously supplied answers will work, but the easiest way to determine the video capacities, is to goto the Start menu, Select Run, in the box that appears, type DXDIAG and press ok. Allow DXDIAG to initialize completely, it will give you all the information regarding video, sound, and networking capacities. The results can be saved to a text file also.
It sounds like you might be using an onboard graphics card that shares it's memory from the system memory pool. If this is the case, you might not have enough system memory with the program running, the operating system running, and any other program running that loads into the background at start up. There are two ways to correct this problem. 1) check your systems specifications sheet to determine three things, a) the type of memory the motherboard supports; b) the initial amount of memory installed; c) the maximum amount of memory the motherboard will support. Once determined you can purchase and extend your system memory upto at least one gig, even better 2gigs using the appropriate memory as specified by the specs sheet. This will give you more system resources so that the video card should have sufficient available resources for your game. Or 2) checking your systems technican specifications see if it lists an avaible video card addon port, determine the type AGP or PCI-Express. Purchase a video card of the appropriate type and install it. Add on video cards use dedicated memory built into the card and do not share resources with the system memory pool.
I hope this gives you some idea's to help you solve your issues.
