If you are unable to find anything about your video card, perhaps you can give more about your computer... (i.e. make and model)

I have a pentium 4 with 2.35 gigs of ram.

Does liveCD work?

Did you try the nomodeset setting on the liveCD? from the links previously posted:

boot from the cd press any key at accessibility circle and keyboard, press F6 and then select the nomodeset option.

Wat is a live cd? I have ubuntu on alot of floppy discs.

And by the way I have 4 3.0 usb ports on ma computar. Odes this be affectin ma flopper discs and/or ma live cd drive.

Also, my norty protector is out of date. Is that a problem.

Also my mouse is made by sony.

BTW i have dial up.

I hope this is all useful.

Maybe I sshould downgrade to Windows 95?
Or DOS.
