i have amd catalyst control center if that helps. That would be an ATI card, now owned and supported by AMD. Visit their site on the link below and enter your model number for the latest drivers. AMD Driver SupportYou'll still need to run DXDiag to identify the model if you don't know it.

On the bottom row of your keyboard, to the left of the space bar you have Alt, and just to the left of the Alt key you have the Windows logo. It looks like four small squares, sort of flag like.
If something gets your goat, it just proves you have a goat to get.

Here's a picture with an example of what you're looking for http://www.windowsresource.net/cimages/dxdiag2.jpgWhat you need to know are the top three things on the left side -- 1. the "Name" of the card 2. the "Manufacturer" 3. the "Chip Type" The example has the Name, the Manufacturer, and the Memory circled, but you can see the "Chip Type" (chipset) is listed right under the Manufacturer. You can also check the right side of the tab for the "Version" and "Date" of your drivers.

...and bsod is short for Blue Screen of Death... or your blue screens. Without the message on the BSOD, it's hard to know what the problem is.

This part indicates an issue with your ATI video card. But I have no idea what it means - you'll have to wait for Inland or Jenny or someone who knows more than I do. After you downloaded those drivers, did you ever install them?

We know you downloaded, but as I asked, did you install them?

You may have to uninstall the existing drivers before you can successfully update to new ones. ATI/AMD has instruction videos on how to install, update, and uninstall drivers at the bottom of this page http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspxThe video instructions are for Windows 7. I don't know if you're using Windows 7 or XP. If you're using 64-bit Windows 7, be sure you get drivers for the 64-bit version of Windows 7. If you're using the 32-bit Windows 7, you'll want the drivers for the 32-bit Windows 7. If you get drivers for the wrong version of Windows, it could cause error messages or the drivers might not even install. If you ONLY see the error message after trying to run the game, the problem may be an incompatibility between that particular version of the drivers and the game -- or it could be due to a conflict the drivers are having with previous drivers that weren't uninstalled before uninstalling the new ones.
