Thanks Jochen & Paul, Due to other problems I had to scrub the Deb 7 installation.It wiped out XP windows in the first partition and I had several errors occur during install. I finally managed to get to completion but grub did not know about windows. In this machine, (Deb 5.0) which is identical to the problem Deb 7 m/c ( I have 4 of them) lspci produces this;

Run 'apt-get install pciutils' und send us the output of the command 'lcpsi'. In the meantime, you can install another desktop like xfce4 which does not need hardware 3D acceleration.I think he meant "lspci"Yes, thank you. J.
