What do you do with the compueter? Are you a gamer? If not a gamer a cheap card like the nVidia MX4000 or Radeon 9200 is perfectly fine.

Do you need a video card or the driver? What are your system specs?

Graphics card

If u want to find the graphics card, Right click my computer, Click manage, Click the + sign next to system tools to make the list drop, click devics manager, then click display adaptors. IT should say thats its a graphics controller which is the same thing. Then give us the exact name of it.

System specs
" devices;trident cyberblade ail video adapter"

That is what you need.

You need to find Windows 9x drivers for the Trident Cyberblade, perhaps a specific model of cyberblade.

trident cyberbalde driver ?

Thanks so much-I hadn't the slightest idea of what driver that i might need,if it was a video card problem,or even motherboard.I'll try to find something comparable,probably an upgraded version as this seems to be a preetty old pc(built in '98)

Look in the files that you downloaded, there should be one that says setup, double left click on it.
