(If you have no idea how to tell - Click on Start -&gt; Run then type 'DXDIAG' (without the quotes) and press enter.</p> <p>This will run the "DirectX Diagnostic Tool" - after it loads - you can click on the "Display" tab - then look for the "Device" box. The "Name" and "Chip Type" should tell you what Video card/chip is installed in your PC.</p> <p>The Two main manufacturers of 3D Video cards are ATI and nVidia. There are other types though. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2001#post-12261 Wed, 28 Nov 2007 03:51:40 +0000 Niloy 12261@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>ok i downlaoded Alien Arena and installed it then when i try to run it it says</p> <p>Couldn't initialize OpenGL renderer!<br /> Update your video drivers and be sure opengl is enabled!</p> <p>can anyone help i have no idea what it means<br /> THX </p>
