This has prolly been asked a dozen-million times, but it's about to be asked again.

When I try to click on MapleStory, it says "Failed to find proper screen mode for Gr2D" I think I understand that I have to update my driver, but I have no clue on how to go about doing that. I have DirectX or whatever it was ready...but I can't find out if it's working. I have almost ZERO knowledge of computer terms, so go easy on me, please.

Below is my scanned hardware info.

I hate to sound like a noob, but I'm pratically dying to try Maple out.

Begin by reading the following section of This Guide.

I just quote the preliminaries. Scroll down the page for information of detecting your hardware and locating the proper drivers.

[3.0.0] MapleStory

[3.1.0] MapleStory Errors

[3.1.1] "Failed in finding proper screen mode for Gr2D"
This section would be helpful to you if:

--> you have reinstalled Windows recently on your computer;
--> you have never played MS on your computer before;
--> you are trying to run MS in a virtual machine (jump to [3.1.1.6] now);

This section does not apply to you if:

--> MS worked on your computer before but you have not reinstalled Windows between now and the previous time it worked;
--> MS worked on your computer before but due to a patch or a GameGuard update, it no longer works;

If the last two applies to you, I suggest you do some universal fixes right now: reboot, reinstall the client, redownload and reinstall the client, system restore to an earlier point where it does work, and/or email Wizet (but make sure you mention that MS worked previous to a patch or whatever event that made it not work). It also wouldn't hurt to try these sections, but you will have a lesser chance of getting it to work compared to the people these sections are written for.

hello it's your intel graphics card you have to find the lastest of that driver and download directx 8.1 or 9.0c and it should work
