I am not sure what you mean by "I believe the computer came with 4 MB AGP
which is built on the motherboard." Do you mean that the video card is
integrated on the motherboard or is the video card installed in the agp slot
which is integrated on the motherboard. If the video card is infact
integrated on the motherboard which some call onboard video, then you would
need to find out what type of motherboard the computer has. You can use a
free program called Belarc Advisor to find out the motherboard information.
After you have the information, go find the motherboard manufacturer's
website and download the driver for the onboard video adapter. Most likely
your computer has some Intel motherboard. If the video card is a video card
which is installed in the agp slot. Then you would need to find out the make
and model of the video card and go to the manufacturer's website and
download the driver. You may be able to find out the information by opening
up the case and looking for any labels on the video adapter itself.
Otherwise you may want to use a program such as SiSoft Sandra to give you
the make and model of the video card. Most likely your video card is an ATI
model. If it is Nvidia then the have a universal driver that supports all of
their video cards. Good luck!
