Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Hardware Tab -> Device Manager -> Display Adapters -> Select your Graphics card from the list -> Right Click, Select properties -> click the drivers tab, then click Update driver - Stick your XP CD, Graphics Card CD in the drive or let it connect to the internet to search.

That should get them updated for you.

Let me know if you get stuck anywhere.

(if you have Vista

Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager (on the left)-> Display Adapters -> Select your Graphics card from the list -> Right Click, Select properties -> click the drivers tab, then click Update driver - Stick your XP CD, Graphics Card CD in the drive or let it connect to the internet to search. )

ahh lol

kk instead of Display adapters go into "Sound, Video and Game controllers" and you hsould have something in there to update

(lol i always assume graphics with an access violation

)

microsoft try to make it easy to spot by putting a yellow triangle with a black ! in it so if you spot any make sure you have a look and see whats causing the issue.
