Clarification Request

This model should have a ATI RADEON Xpress 200 PCI express videocard. You stated that it is integrated ? The problem is with the driver. ATI has not posted Windows 7 drivers for that card, but there are drivers for the ATI RADEON Xpress 300 card, which is basically the same card. Download that driver from the ATI site. Now, if you indeed have a "onboard" video card, just purchase a PCI express video card of your choice, and install it in that free PCI slot. That will take you all of 10 minutes if that.

Just go to best buy and find a video card that meets DirectX 9 Graphic specs that will fit you mother board.

1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
  • 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
  • 16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
  • DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
