- Get a laptop/PC on with internet. Use Google to search your brand's name and find the website.

- Download the drivers. After the drivers have been downloaded, run the program and it should automatically install the drivers.

- Go to device manager, right click your graphic card, and click on update.
- Search manually through your computer to find the driver's .inf file.
- Select the file. This should force install your graphic card's drivers.
