Re: display adapters

You probably need to update the drivers for your video card. Right-click on
My Computer (or on Computer if you have Vista) and choose
Properties->Hardware->Device Manager.

Expand the Display Adapters node and then right-click on your adapter and
choose Update Drivers. Let the update wizard search the Internet.

If that doesn't get all the tabs then go to the website for your display
adapter chipset and download the latest drivers from them and install in
your PC.
