Tattooed · 26 Dec 2009 at 01:36

Hi,
I have just installed Windows 7 on my HP pavilion dv600 laptop. Everything seems to works great. When I went into screen saver settings to set up a screen saver it say's in the middle "the screen saver can't run becase it require a newer video card or one that compatible with direct3D" so
In display screen resolution/advance settings/ adapter, adapter type is a standard vga adapter,went I try to update the driver it say's it is upto date.

Any suggestions?

Not sure what type of card is in my laptop.
