    I suspect you need a new gpu driver. Get the video adapter spec/model from system information ... I think that's what it's called in windows, I mostly use linux nowadays ... and go to the manufacturer's support site.

  3. Yes, Windows only includes basic drivers for the graphics card. You need to install full drivers to get all the features.

    Thanks for your replies.

    I used Driver Update to update and it sorted the problem.

    Thanks
