    I recently had to swap out the hard drive of my new lenovo ideapad. I started to download programs and games. When i launched them though they either say direct x had encountered an unrecoverable error or that my graphics card is not 3d compatible. When i had the computer before i got the new hard drive this error didn't happen. So i went to canyourunit.com to check my specs and sure enough the site says my proccessor is 3.0 ghz and graphics card is 0 everything. I tried downloading drivers but amd says i dont have the right hardware. Can someone please help i need to get this fixed soon or my boss at work will have what they call a "talk" with me. Specs are below.

    AMD A4-3300M with AMD Radeon HD Graphics
    4.0 GB Ram
    Standard VGA Graphics Adapter
    WIN 7 Home Premium SP1
