This is really getting on my nerves now. About a month ago I did a complete system restore on my old laptop (viruses, you know) using two discs I bought off of the HP website. After I dumped everything on my computer out, I popped in the Applications and Drivers disc and the desktop didn’t respond. So after 3 more grueling months, I finally got my great uncle to literally configure the disc and dish out what it had onto my computer. He said that he couldn’t get all of it on, but that didn’t mind me (thinking it was probably something I would never use). Gradually, I began to notice how slow and choppy the display was on my computer screen was; turns out that the something was wrong with the display. I looked at the DirectX Diagnostic Tool and this is what the notes said: "The system is using the generic video driver…. Direct3D functionality not available." I’ve tried everything I could think of and no go. I know its probably the card or something like that (I’m not the only one getting this problem), but I have no idea what that is. I went onto ATI/AMD and got so confused- actually everyone I’ve asked has. So I really need help with this. If you’ve come here to be some immature juvenile asking for attention then go away. I really need some help here. I don’t want to restore this thing all over again. Thanks.

Your laptop is still using the Microsoft VGA driver. It is slow and has limited capability. You really need to install the right graphics driver so that the graphics card will work to its full potential.
