    Run this scan:

    What is listed under System Model?

    Also: Main Circuit Board?

    Also: Display?

    From HP I am getting 2 models:

    If I type in Vectra VL8/450 I get:

    HP Vectra VL 6/xxx series 8

    Whereas there is also under VL8:

    HP Vectra VLi8

    Can you look on the label on the right side of the case for the model?

    In any event one of these drivers should work:

    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport...us&swEnvOID=20

    If you do not see the label perhaps you can ID the model from the visuals at the HP site.

    Also have you added a graphics card to this computer or is it as it was from HP?

    Another quick place to try is Start/Run/ dxdiag | Display
