Sounds like it may be using the on-board (Intel) graphics rather than your nVidia card.

Did you re-install the games after upgrading the O/S?

Go to the nVidia website and get their latest driver - do not rely on Windows Device manager.

hi smurfy...I have followed your instructions and downloaded the correct driver off the NVidia website...


Now should I unstill the current driver then continue to install the downloaded one or just go ahead install?
