No Graphics Device?

[Grigori]

whenever i launch any game on steam, i get a "No Graphics Device Found Exiting" i have a graphics card if thats what they mean, i just recently set my computer back to the day we got it if it helps at all

Hm. Look at the back of your computer, please.
Where is your monitor plugged into? Is it plugged into the motherboard (So, near a bunch of USB ports, a network port, etc etc) or is it plugged lower down into the graphics card?

i just looked at it and now it says i have a ATI ATOMBIOS for my graphics card

That's a radeon or a rage card by AMD go here http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/auto_detect.aspx if that doesn't work then you have to auto-do it by going here http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx

oh and also i can run games like The Binding Of Issac but not the fullscreen ones default by Total war series

By the way atombios is your firmware for your GPU not the direct model..you have a Radeon by AMD go here http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/auto_detect.aspx

ATI is property of AMD for their Radeons...basically an over name, so click that link, it will auto-detect your graphics card then it will give you the drivers, so after you install that tool it will tell you what graphics card you have then with a click of a button it will tell you the drivers it needs and it will download+install them for you.
