Be more specific about what you mean and what leads you to that conclusion.
...and the solution described was not at all complicated.

NOTE:  I become very short-tempered with neophites who second-guess me
without showing evidence of WHERE I am wrong.

If you know who the manufacturer is,
it is likely to be the 1st item in a search engine's returns:
http://www.google.com/
You should add the search term "device drivers" or simply drivers.

If you *don't* know the manufacturer's name, read this
--especially the part about **SysInfo Utility**.

Ah.  A verbatim 
error message  is ALWAYS more useful than your interpretation of it.

Until you have a properly-working video subsystem,
you can expect to continue to get that message.
Why you are surprised by this is baffling.
