Hi,

I recently installed Windows Vista and there are a few things that I really want to fix,

Firslty---For some reason my computer is using a "standard vga graphics adapter" when I usually use a nVidia graphics card which is actually pretty good...I thnk this also might have something to do with my Windows Experience Index score of being only 1.0

Secondly---My computer is showing absolutely no signs that I actually have a built in WiFi card. I have tried finding it and tried figuring out how to actually "activate it" or anything just to show my computer I have one.

Thirdly---Whenever I try playing a DVD with windows media centre I get this message saying that there are video components missing.

All these problems are really annoying me and I will be really grateful if anyone can help.

Cheers,
Will

You need to go nvidia.com and download the VISTA drivers for your video card. You also need to go and do the same for your wireless card. Also, once you install the video driver, the problem with WMP and DVD's will go away.
