What program?

Try this: Go into the System control panel in Windows and click on the graphics adapter, then click Remove. Have your Windows disk handy and your video card driver disk. Reboot. When the computer comes up, it'll prompt you to install your video drivers since it'll automatically detect the video hardware again.

If you are not sure what video card you have, the System control panel should tell you; if that doesn't help, look on the laptop manufacturer's Web site for driver downloads or system specs. If you can only find specs, try the video card manufacturer's site.

It might be an ATI, since they're pretty common, it seems (my powerbook uses an ATI Rage LT, if I remember right) -- http://www.atitech.ca -- but check first.

good luck! --
