Thank you Thomas for youre kind help.

You are the real Python PRO, you deserve Nobel Prize in Python.

I operated an old Dell computer with Windows XP preinstalled
and upgraded XP to Windows 7 to get some web services to work.

Unfortunately I failed to find and install driver for video controller since none supported by Dell.

Visited many driver sites (Intel Driver Assistant included and more)
without any success.

So life with an old PC is not easy
