You will need to re-install the correct and updated drivers for your video
card..

After you install an operating system, you must then install the drivers
for all your hardware. It sounds as though you didn't do that because
you're missing the correct drivers for your video card.

Never get drivers from Windows Update. Get them from:

1. The device mftr.'s website; OR
2. The motherboard mftr.'s website if hardware is onboard; OR
3. The OEM's website for your specific machine if you have an OEM
computer (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).

Read the installation instructions on the website where you get the
drivers.

To find out what hardware is in your computer:

1. Read any documentation you got when you bought the computer.
2. If the computer is OEM, go to the OEM's website for your specific
model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers
anyway)
3. Download, install and run a free system inventory program like Belarc
Advisor. The older Aida32 is good for this, too.

I have this video card that says Hercules on the fan, and is says "3D PROPHET
II 64MB 5058421 631". What website or manufacturer should I go to in order
to get the downloads for Windows XP?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, attilathehun1

Given what I believe the age of that video card likely is - its driver is
either included in Windows XP or it was never supported in WIndows XP by the
original manufactuer.

On the back side of the card printed in bold white capital letters is HT then
in small print is B 94V-0 or O, then on paper is 0034 then on paper too is
A200905262. In very small print below the HT is 631 5058370.
I hope that identifies the card manufacturer better. There are 10,000
different drivers for different cards on the website I went to. And yes, the
card is old, bought about 2002.
Thanks, attilathehun1
