I have a new motherboard but the display card is about 5 years old.
When I scroll down in Internet Explorer or Word the page jumps down in
blocks instead of scrolling smoothly.
In Control Panel - System the display card is not showing so I cannot update
drivers or check settings.
Can anyone help please.

Try looking in the Device Manager.

For things to move smoothly on windows, realisticly your graphics card
needs 32MB of RAM, if your graphics card is 5 years old, I dought it
has any more than 8MB of RAM, unless of course it’s some thing like
a TNT2 from 5 years ago, in which case it should be suffice.
