I'm not sure how, although i've managed to uninstall my video card driver and i'm unsure how to locate the specific driver i need. (My computer has reverted back to using the "generic video driver.")

(The system is using the generic video driver. Please install the video driver provided by the hardware manufacturer.

Here are the results from DxDiag;

If u know what graphic card u have:
Go to:
http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.HTML
OR
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

And give in the proper information
They will give u the required drivers -> download -> install -> reboot -> fixed (adjust refresh rate if necessary)

If u don't know what graphics card u have:
press windows Key & Pause/Break button
-> Hardware
-> Devive Manager
-> There u look for Display(drivers) or something that is "unidentified (missing the driver )"

Thanks Razorhead for your reply, in the end my dad reminded me that he did a copy of the CD with my new drivers on. However, many thanks for that other solution.
