Problems with video card drivers

I got a computer that originally had xp.  I upgraded the OS to something modern.   The problem is the video drivers do not exist for this version of windows.   How do I install drivers for an older version of windows?   Or is a USB video card cheaper than a new computer and would help?

    Hmmm.  If it is an external video card then I would only be able to use it with external monitors, right?

    Do you know what video card it is? (Or the exact model number for the computer?)
    And yes a external USB video card can only be used with an external monitor.

    I think it is Intel video card.   I am not at computer at the moment.

    I think if I recall correctly, the computer is an Asus eee pc 900HD.  I know it is not the best out there but it is the case of better than nothing computer.

    Your best bet would be to go to Intel's website and download their automatic driver update software.

    Without the right driver I am unable to open DS due to OpenGL issue. Wonder if I get the right driver to install that will get DS to work?

    Video drivers issued by windows update do not support OpenGL.  For Daz Studio you need to be running manufacturer drivers.
