no graphics acceleration

i formatted my old pc a few weeks ago and so far havnt been able to put games on or even play movies properly. it has no graphics card but played the games fine before.i can only guess that the graphics driver/software is gone. it runs the games from the motherboard wich i have downloaded the drivers from but it just wont play. any ideas?

it will have some sort of graphics card

run "everest ultimate" on it, will tell you what graphics chipset it has

likely to be onboard intel
