There's a few ways, but the most direct I can think of is right click on the desktop, open Properties, and go to the Settings tab. A new window will open and there should be an "Adapter" tab. It will list the details of your video card. On the Adapter tab, if you click the Properties button, it will open up information on the video device. You can select the Driver tab and it will show the version of driver you're using.

So, to sum up, provide us with

Device name (can be found both on the adapter tab and in the device properties window)
Driver version (can be found after opening the device properties and selecting the driver tab).

(Hope my directions for finding those are helpful.)

Man... didn't think that got changed until Win7. Sorry. The hard way then....

Open up Control Panel and then "System". Select the "Hardware" tab and click the "Device Manager" button. Look for the item "Display adapters." Expand this and it will show you the name of the adapter. If you double click the adapter name, it will open the properties for it and you can look up the driver version same as above. (I don't like sending people this way as it shows a lot more information people aren't familiar with. Be cautious doing anything other than described as you can mess up your system.)

I'm not sure anyone has come up with a reliable fix for the Intel 965 chips. I know I've seen them mentioned a few times. From this post (which links back to the original post on Paradox Plaza): viewtopic.php?f=10&t=96&sid=4b8d2c1cfaef63451ade08ecc3703fbb#p989

I don't really know the details on that. You'll need to read through the post(s) I've linked.

I was reminded that there are working drivers for the Intel 965 chips. Several members have had issues with the updater getting the correct drivers and had to manually download the latest version. I found one post already here: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/sho ... st13758674. Specifically, see this Intel page: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect?iid=dc_iduu

There may be some more information on it, but I'm not finding it right away.
