I don't know what to do :(. A week ago I got Sims 3 Late Night and the game seemed to lag a lot, I then found out that the graphics card was last updated in 2004, so I thought I'd take a look on the NVIDIA site and update it. I didn't know the name of the graphics card so I put it on automatic detect - it couldn't find anything. So I used internet explorer and found the right graphics card. I downloaded it and updated it, restarted and since something has gone horribly wrong. The PC came back on and the screen was overly big, it's slightly blurred too. I changed the screen resolution and now there's a black bar at the side of my screen. Whats more, I tried to run the Sims 3 and it says my Graphics card cannot be detected. The NVIDIA site said it was UPDATING the graphics card, but it's made it worse :o and I don't know what to do for the best now. When you scroll down on the internet it takes about 10 seconds to actually do so...so I'm thinking something has gone horribly wrong. Is there a way to restore the PC back to the way it was? Or even update the graphics card to work better again? Please help someone. My PC is XP.
If anyone wants my full dxdiag then leave their emails and i'll send it to you.

If system restore does not work cancelling the computer script will since sometimes computers become unresponsive and people receive warnings to cancel computer script for that reason.

God my french is rusty..... and particular its nicely matched. to place in first seek for Radeon 5450 BIOS get carry of on the AMD radeon sight under radeon5000 series or legacy regardless of if that is no longer indexed. then after installation, close down your laptop particularly on restarting it. in the previous you open and alter picture playing cards make certain you do electrostatic precaution measures: touch a wall or metallic case for no less than a million min in the previous continuing.Then open your laptop case and effective the cardboard that the VGA the blue demonstrate screen plug is in and get rid of it. replace that card with the recent one and then screw lower back each and all of the mandatory screws lower back in place and close the case. now restart you laptop and it could artwork. EDit ; guy above me... the pentiumH wont get bottlenecked with the aid of a low-end card alongside with a 5450. and 4Gb is in all probability extensive... for a 32bit gadget. given which you're allowed in common terms 4GB. until you edit the console of the 32bit gadget to permit extra ram.. that's fairly turning your 32bit right into a sixty 4 bit yet quicker.
just do a system restore.
Of note if your card is from 2004 or earlier, no driver update is going to improve performance that much! time to upgrade man.
