    Question graphics card update HELP

    Thank You in advance, I play Fiesta In Europe and when I had this problem before it seemed a simple fix, however now it wont fix it.
    My screen goes all one color except for things like the character name, chat box etc. The color coincides with the background.
    I updated my card and voila it worked great!
    Now I have the same issue again, same laptop nothing is different except i DL quite a few photos on it recently.
    I cannot find and update for my card. I have even unistaled and reinstalled my Radeon 3400 series card with no luck
    My statics are as followsResults

    What is the make/model of the graphics card and not just the series number. It is best to use the driver from the card manufacturer (such as MSI). Why can't you install the drivers again? Did you delete the file and now you can't find it? Have you tried a restore point?

    ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series
    Resolution: 1280 x 800

    I called Toshiba Tech Supt he told me to uninstall the Graphics card in reinstall their update, but it was for XP so it didnt work. Then I went to ATI and installed mine, It called for 3470 but all they have is 3400 series, so i installed that one, it seems to have gotten me back to ground zero, but at least I have a card again -.-. I have installed my vista updates as well.
    I did notice that when I change the graphics on my game to a lower lvl, such as reducing background and distance, it is better, however, Idk if I can ever get my old graphic settings back. Thanks for your help ^.^

    Did you try a restore point to before you started having your graphics issues? Did you try drivers from Toshiba's website?

    XP drivers will not work on Vista. I'm surprised that windows didn't crash.

    lol it didnt crash, just went large icon on me, but i was listening to tech support. I didnt find anything compatable with my system on toshiba, but im a noob when it comes to fiding things and a friend helped me search, he found nothing either. I will try a restore now and see what happens. =D

    Edit: I tried a restore, still the same.
