Hi Wizard595,
Please share the operating system installed.
Drivers available on support website are the OEM version of drivers that are specifically designed for your computer. You may check if the system meets the minimum requirements to run those games. Another step you may try is to uninstall and re-install video drivers on your computer and see if it makes any difference. To uninstall and re install the drivers:
- Click on “Start” and right click on “Computer”.
- Click on “Manage”.
- Click on “Device Manager”.
- Under “Display adapters”, you will find the video driver listed.
- Right click on it and click on “uninstall”. (Check and make a note of the driver installed on your system and re-install the driver from the below steps accordingly).
- Check the box to delete the software.
- Restart your system and click on the link: http://dell.to/QjjZDA
- Enter the Service Tag of your system and select the operating system.
- You will find the video driver under “Video”.
- Click on the video driver depending on the video card your system has. (Install the same video driver which you uninstalled from “Device Manager”.
- Click on “Download File”.
- Select “For Single File Download via Browser”.
- Click on “Download Now”.
- Save the driver on your desktop.
- Once the driver is saved on desktop, right click on it and select “Run as administrator”.
- Install the video driver by following the on screen instructions.
You may also check Intel Driver Update Utility that might work. You may access Intel driver update utility from link: http://intel.ly/RFeALf
Click on 'Check your system for latest updates' and follow the prompts on screen.
Please reply in case you have any further questions.

Hi Wizard595,
There is no harm in installing the drivers from the manufacturer's website. If they does not work, the changes made can be easiely rolled back. Drivers from Intel website might work. You may try and share the findings.
