Go to the video card manufacturer's website.  There should be some kind of download area where you can update your video card driver.

You can also go to control panel, system, device manager, and click on the graphics display adapter, then right-click and click on update driver, it will ask you if it can search online, say yes.
 
I had a problem playing a game once on my other computer, it just kept crashing when I got to the end of a level.  It wasn't actually the graphics card that caused it but the sound card needed to be updated.
 
If you want you can find the makes of these two items, by clicking in start and type in dxdiag in the search programs and files box (if running vista) or click on run (if running XP) and type in dxdiag.
 
Once this program is open, you will have tabs for display and sound.  Under the display tab you will find the make of the grahics card and the driver version and the same under the sound tab for the sound card.  You can the go to the respective sites and look for an updated driver to download and install.

Bring back the High Score Board and Medals - :(

One of the main reasons for video failure is the need to update Direct X..I believe right now the most recent is 9 for casual PC's just go to the direct x site and click test and it will let you know if you need an update.

May your troubles be less, may your blessings be more, and may nothing but happiness come through yo
