You most likely need to uninstall then reinstall your Graphics drivers.

What is your Display adapter (graphics card/device)?

The manufacturer will have current drivers.

SiS 650/651/740/661FX/741/760 series

Please post back that other scan.

That SiS is most likely an on-board graphics chip so we need to ID the motherboard.

how do i do that?
