1) Download then install DirectX Feb 2010 update (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=0cef8180-e94a-4f56-b157-5ab8109cb4f5);
2) Download then install the free DivX Plus (http://www.divx.com/en/win).

ok i downloaded the direct x but it asks me for a directory to extract files to

[chrissy14xsi]

i installed them and still not right i think im missing a video controller vga compatible or some sort

[Van Nugent]

Did you also install DivX? If you need me to help you find the video driver, you'll need to tell the make/model of the system or motherboard.

yeah that would be great im not having luck with google there are too many fake websites promissing the world and delivering worms its an acer aspire sa80-9b7z and im running windows 7 x64

- Check Device Manager to see if the video card is an ATI or nVIDIA or SIS.

- Go to this page (http://www.acersupport.com/) to download the video card driver. (Click on Driver Downloads, Desktop, Aspire then scroll down to select SA80).

its an sis and when i go to acer website the drivers are only for xp and not vista or w7

[Van Nugent]

The reason was Acer only supports Win XP for your PC. Please check Device Manager and tell me what SIS video card it is?

sis 661fx/gx mirage graphics but its under other devices and not sound video and game controllers

It's because you don't have the correct driver for it. Try this driver (http://download.cnet.com/SiS-VGA-driver-3-78-00-zip/3000-2108_4-164001.html).

ok al give it a try

[chrissy14xsi]

i tried installing it and it encounters a problem it says that it dont work with my version

[Van Nugent]

Then let's try the newer version of the driver. Go to this page (http://www.sis.com/download/agreement.php?url=/download/), under Latest Drivers click the link Sis UniVGA3 graphics driver v3.91 to download it. The video card is too old, btw.
