Game Maker Error

Sir

Member

Ok, i open game maker, make the map and i get this error: "failed to initialize Drawing surfaces. Please check that your graphics card meets the minimum requirements and that your drivers are up-to-date. If your graphics card has little memory, try switching your computer to a lower resolution."

Alright the thing is, i've had gamemaker on this computer before, however i've now installed windows XP sp 1 (i think it is) and now it gives me this error, i'm not good at the computer mechanics so i don't know what type of card i have (maybe someone can tell me where to look) and also how do i check my drivers?
 

Thank you for viewing
