Do i need to open up the case or is there a diffrent way?
Do you know the model of your motherboard?
No i dont, but that is how i can get the video driver?
Depends on the graphics chip.
you did read it was on motherboard graphics driver, yes? i found a chip saying winbond w83627f-aw
is there no writing on the motherboard itself ?

In many motherboards the onboard graphics are part of the chipset, they are not in a separate chip. That winbond chip isn't the graphics one.

Yes, there is no name on the motherboard, can it tell what drivers are missing?
It might be fujitsu vga driver is has a fujitsu simens sticker on it, ah, i got an idea, ill install windows me once again and look in the device list and see what it says of what kind of vga driver it is, and then reformat it again.
If the graphics chip is part of the chipset you should be looking for a chip with VIA, ALi, SiS or Intel written on it
If it is not integrated into the chipset it should be somethig from Trident, Cirrus Logic or S3
Also knowing the brand doesn't do much. You need the full chip name. Different chips from the same manufacturer do not use the same set of drivers. Did you do what I told you to do on my last post? The PnP hardware ID might be an easier way to find exactly what driver you need instead of hunting for chips if you don't know what to look for.
Actually, even a high-res photo of the motherboard would be nice. I can't exactly guess your hardware if I don't even know what it looks like.
ill install windows me again and look in the device list on what it says.
i found the name! Intel(r) 82810 Graphics Controller 4.12.01.2604 now i need a way to download that..
