you can find your display adapter info in the System Information (Start ->Run ->Msinfo32) ->System Summary ->Components ->Display

PSJiraiya

when i check that its empty no info whatsoever.

PangingJr

do you get the info you want to know from the Display Properties?

I have a tool.....



00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000

download and unzip this
http://members.datafast.net.au/dft08...oads/pci32.zip

THEN save this in the same folder replaceing the older version
http://members.datafast.net.au/dft08...ds/pcidevs.txt

then run PCI32.EXE

you might want to make a run.bat file with the 2 lines

PCI32.EXE
pause

becouse it seems to auto close one it'd id's eveything

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000


Or try 1/2 dones graphical version of the tool http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=3908

that is the PCI and AGP bus sniffer and report generator, it's a "command line" tool.. reason that the window close when you run it because it need to be ran under CMD shell,
if you want the tool to generate a report, at the prompt type in this below line and hit enter key.

pci32 -b >businfo.txt

the report will be saved in the program installed folder..

under win XP you can get a full report of your system information..

go to Start ->Run and type in one of the command line below and hit enter key,
a file called 'sysinfo.txt' will be saved in your C:,
you should be able to see your video card info in the saved file under the section [Display]

winmsd -report c:\sysinfo.txt

-Or-

"%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\MSInfo\msinfo32.exe" /report C:\sysinfo.txt
