In the control panel for your graphics card (manufacturers'). Also try this link.

One more suggestion. When updating graphic driver (.dll) always uninstall old driver first.

Not all people here are Christian and this is not a place to discuss religious affiliations!

Hi YoKenny...

I did not "discuss" my Faith with others, I wished the Lord would bless him. My greeting to him. I have the right to express that and the fact I am a Christian!

Best Regards...

I don't understand how nobody noticed he's downloading the wrong drivers. His laptop is 0687 and not 0769. How do i know that ? Cause he showed us a screen from dxdiag which clearly shows he has an intel graphics in there and NOT Nvidia. The 0769 model has an Nvidia graphics card and the 0687 has an Intel graphics card. So i guess this would be the correct link for those drivers.

I would recommend to run Driver Sweeper in order to insure those old drivers are completely gone before installing the new ones.

link - http://downloads.guru3d.com/Guru3D---Driver-Sweeper-(Setup)-download-1655.html

Uninstall the old drivers first via the control panel, reboot into safe mode and run Driver Sweeper(select Intel and Nvidia cleaning), reboot again and install the correct driver.

Hello, Miha!  :)

My Laptop in fact is a 0769 model. It seems that something got really messed up with drivers or whatever. When I tried to install the Nvidia driver it said that I don't have any Nvidia hardware.  ???
Then I installed the Intel driver and it did install, but didn't solve the problem...
I will try the driver sweeper too, thanx for the suggestion!

Thank you all for all the help, I will try to solve this problem later, as I don't have my laptop here now. Thanx!  :)

Yeah let us know what happened... I'm still convinced you have the 0687 model otherwise you'd have an Nvidia chip in there which according to dxdiag and to Nvidia drivers you don't.  ;D

I believe i see the problem. Apparently some of these Lenovo n300's are labeled as 0769 but they have intel graphics in there. Quite confusing.

It's not working. I uninstalled display drivers like 5 times (with Remove programs, Driver Magician, manually etc.) and installed them again and nothing works. I also analysed it with SiSoft Sandra and it says that I don't have a 3D accelerator. Of course I have it, but I don't know why's that happening. Is it possible that only a part of my graphic card is not functioning? Because 2D graphics are OK. Should I format the system?  :-\

It has been a long journey, but you could try this little tool GPU-Z that will give you more information on your graphics chip than SiSoft Sandra I believe.

I don't know (well I'm almost sure) if this will make any difference as it is really tracking down the graphics chipset installed and then you can try and find if that offers 3D and what driver/s is available for it.

Well it gives you the chipset Intel 965 Express Chipset Family, the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) to search for any associated graphics driver updates, etc.
