What should i do for the video card to be detected?

Video graphics card not recognized or detected on fairly new computer?

  • i'm running a year-old hp mini 210 and don't know a whole lot about computers. i tried to install a game and it said my video graphics card was not detected and just now i went to yougamers.com and it said "We are sorry, the Game-o-Meter is unable to identify your video card. It may be so new that it has not yet been added to our database, or so old that we do not have data on it. The Game-o-Meter has logged this failure and we will make every effort to correct this problem. Please try again in a few days." ??? like i said i don't know a lot about computers but from what i gathered during googling, i may need to update my driver yet i am unsure as to how to do this cuz when i went to intel's website and tried several times nothing happened..?? i have an intel graphics media accelerator 3150. what should i or can i do? i'm confused as to why it is undetectable when it is clearly working (i can watch vids, play lots of games, etc). thanks if anyone can help! i'm posting this question here as well because it was 'recommended' i do so even though i thought it might be bettr off in laptop/notebooks section. i'm kind of at my wit's end cuz i've been trying to figure this out for hours with very minimal computer knowledge!

  • Answer:

    Most Netbook computer are not built for games. You have a Intel GMA 3150 means you have an Intel Atom N450, 1.66GHz. My mom has this type of netbook but its not intended for her in playing video games, only she can watch video without the hassle. Some old games can run on this baby, some don't. Better check the specs of the game what is the requirements in order to run the game.
