|

Okay so I don't now what I was smoking when I bought this thing but it's a graphics card only compatible with 32bit. I, of course, have 64bit. is there anyway to make this work with my 64bit Windows 7? _________________

what?
Are you sure it's not talking about color? That has nothing to do with whether or not you can install a 64-bit operating system, and a GPU as a whole should not. The only thing that'll determine if you can use 64-bit is your CPU. _________________

You read what I said right? Let me make this more clear for you.
I bought a graphics card. It was only compatible with a 32bit operating system. I have Windows 7 64bit. It does not let me use it. I was wondering if there was a way to allow me to use the graphics card. _________________

Okay, it came with a disk that is used to install the graphics card properly. When I put that in and run it, it tells me I have a 64bit OS and I need to have a 32bit OS for it to work. _________________

fuck the disk. Never trust the cd. They are always dated to pre historic times anyway. |

Okay yeah I'm not that smart with this kinda stuff. How do I do this shit?
EDIT: This shit totally does not work. Right now I have the card in and everything looks fucked up. It acts weird and slow. I tried opening up games or something and it does not let me. I'm pretty sure my card does not work with my computer... _________________

I already gave you the link. Download the driver exe and run it. It will install the drivers and probably ask you to reboot. |
