How do I update this? Please, please tell me I don't have to pay to update it just for a god *&^% patch? please?
Moving to tech assistance.
To update your graphics card drivers visit the website of the company who manufactured your card - they should be easy to find.

erm some more details regarding your graphics card would be helpful such as a dxdiag.txt (run dxdiag from Start>Run>Dxdiag).
if it is an ATI card, download the latest drivers from www.ati.com or alternatively from the nvidia website if your card is a Nvidia one.
i think this is in the wrong forum as well....a moderator will most likely move it to the technical assistance forum soon enough.

Im not computer smart, but im pretty sure the game card is NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200. I think, its on my device manager under display adaptors, if thats not it, tell me where to look to find out. 2.59 Ghz 512 Mb, etc please help
OK, so the website you need to visit is this one (http://www.nvidia.com/page/home).

I figured that from the other poster, but like I said, Im computer dumb, and i can't figure out how to update it
have you found the page with the three boxes? If so then:
Box 1 = Graphics Driver
Box 2 = GeForce and TNT2
Box 3 = your operating system - almost certainly windows XP/2000
Download the file and run it, that will update your drivers.
