This is where I got so far.
When I opened the Display settings it couldn't determine what gfx card i had.
I used the WinXP CD to repair my WinXP instalation. Now it on Display settings it sais I have 'GF2 GTS'. So far so good.
I try to install the latest drivers for it but neither nVidia nor...

P.S.
donkey42, I understand you want to help, and I am thankful, but I don't know how the manual is...
If it would run I could read somewhere what motherboard I have but all I can see now is the labels: "QDI www.qdigrp.com" and "QDI worldclass mainboard KinetiZ 7E" I also know that it's one of the last that uses SD RAM.
The processor was some 2.6 GHz or something.
Also before the card died...
Hello, sorry I don't know nothing of hardware and will sound very lame but we all have our fields of knowledge.
My computer broke down today and I am certain that the video card is dead.
Now I have to find replacement but I will not have my allowance soon so I have to find a cheap...
