Barkermush Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Have you tried updating your Graphics Drivers? That as fixed the problem for other people with your problem in the past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekman Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Do as suggested above and update your graphics card drivers. It might also be a good idea to run a virus and\or spyware scan. If you do this at the same time as having fm running make sure that it ignores the fm folders. What other stuff do you have running at the same time as fm? Have you installed something new recently as perhaps maybe something is causing a conflict? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinsinaty Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Have you properly shut down and restart your computer ? Sometimes I only put it in sleep mode, and then strange things happen if I abuse of that... What is Problem 2 ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Shanahan Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Bakermush - How do you update??? Find the make and model of your graphics card by typing in "dxdiag" in the search box on your start panel (the windows logo thingy)> click the dxdiag.exe icon (it's a blue/black circle with a yellow x in it), that will give your computer's full specs, click "save all information" which will put a notepad file on your desktop with more info on your computer than you can shake a stick at. Open this, find Display Devices (it's the 4th grouping) which will give you the model of your graphics card (for illustration mine says NVIDIA GeForce 7050 / NVIDIA nForce 610i). Finally type "Graphics card X (insert the actual name here) update drivers" into Google, and the first link should be the page for the official website of the manufacturer with the most recent driver updates. (example using my card) Edit: Bakermush beat me with the other way! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyRich Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Thanks Bakermush for the nice reply, and this may sound stupid to you, but where the hell is device manager?!?!

Jedaye Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Mines listed under display adapters.....but yours may well be the video controller. The fact it has the ? next to it may well point to the route of all your problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkermush Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Mines listed under display adapters.....but yours may well be the video controller.The fact it has the ? next to it may well point to the route of all your problems. Yep what Jedaye said. It look's like you have an error with your graphics drivers, as it as a yellow question mark next to it. So that's probably the reason why your 3D as stopped working, have you uninstalled any programs latley before your 3D stopped working? On an old computer i once rebooted it completly and it deleted all my Graphics Drivers, so i had to download and install the drivers manually, after hours of searching on Google to find the right drivers i needed. Try right clicking, and click updating Driver software and see if it sorts it.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barkermush Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Basically, The driver wont update because of this... None of them will, all same reason What do i doooo?!?!?! Yep that's exactly what happened with me, i had bought my old PC off a friend and i had no disk,so i had no idea what Gfx card i had. I found a program that you download which inspects your computer, and it identifies what Graphics card is installed on your computer and if your lucky it will also tell you what drivers you need to download. . I can't remember what the program was called, but i'll have a quick google and see if i can find it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do a factory reset on your PC it does this to your graphics/audio drivers, as i've learnt the hard way in the past. Or Have you recently installed or deleted something from your computer? But not sure if installing or deleting something would have done that to your gfx drivers.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barkermush Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Oh yeah don't buy anything after the test, you can always download the drivers for free else where. If you just use the program to scan and find out what Gfx card you have installed on your computer[the scan is free], and then just use google to search for the Drivers you need. Or go to the official website for the Maker of your Gfx card installed on your computer, they normally have all drivers available for free download on their sites. It's finding the correct driver that can be a pain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurakUeda Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Did you try HP website for drivers? http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support_task.html Also, you can check your GPU name and model with DxDiag. Type dxdiag inside the "Run Command" box in the start menu, and enter. Once you get the GPU info, you can download drivers from the manufacturer's website.
