Your problem is that your drivers are gone and your GFX card isn't being picked up, here the links to fix it;

Also i need the make of your GFX card to get the drivers for it too.

OK I downloaded that, may you please tell me what to do next?

You don't even need him to help you with that.
When you re-format your computer, always make sure you have the necessary drivers at hand somewhere.
Seeing you don't, I suggest you contact your video card manufacturer. In most cases, they have the drivers free for download.
If you have a Nvidia graphics card for example, get your drivers from www.nvidia.com.
That goes for others like ATI etc. Aswell.

Google is your friend when looking for missing drivers

Idk what driver to install Mentis. May you please walk me through it?

What Information Do You Need?

 

[Mentis]

Basically, I need to know what graphics card you have.
I need to know the brand and the type. Like an Nvidia Geforce graphics card.
Or ATI radeon. Or any brand and card type. It should be on the box of the graphics card you purchased.

If it was a factory build-in, like with some of the low-end dell desktops I'll need to know the brand of your computer.

 

[Shattered Reflection]

I didn't buy one and It says I don't have one but I do.

it's a dell dimension 4700 tho

anyway.... To update a driver follow these instructions.

1. Right click my computer and click manage

2. Find the Device Manager tab and click it.

3. Find your graphics card or whatever driver you need.

4. Right click it and press update driver.
