Ok, so I just downloaded Windows 8 on my laptop. I downloaded roblox and it was VERY slow, and it was mildly fast before, but not this slow. I then downloaded M i n e c r a f t and it said graphics card failure. Having played this game before getting windows 8, I checked the type of graphics card in the settings. Microsoft basic display adapter. I have absolutely no idea of what my current graphics card is, and online it sais to look for the driver for your graphics card. So what I'm asking is, does anyone know how to find out what of graphics card I really have? I'm running on a Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop, and I don't want to go take it apart. |

| You DO realise that windows 8 was JUST released and there's still some thin they need to work out, like making most games windows 8 compatible in the first place. |

| I told you, I looked up how to fix it. All I need to know is how to know what kind of graphics card I have, then I can get the driver and be all set. |
