I downloaded some drivers for GeForce 6200, but nothing happened. Next time I turned on the PC, the screen resolution was at 640x320. I was like "WTF?", but I changed the resolution. Next I refreshed the PC a few times, but every time I did that, the icons fluttered! That began to piss me off. Then I entered Internet, and when I scroll down the page, a line crosses the screen and THEN scrolls down. Damn already! But, the worst thing is: whenever I try to enter a 3D game, an error message shows up! And when I try to enter WC3, it says: "No CD-ROM found." I wanted to cry. I wanted to enter the graphic card panel, but, it wasn't in the right click menu! So, bassicly, like there is NO GRAPHIC CARD PRESENT. Help! What do I do? Buy a new card or...?

Search on NVIDIA site for some new drivers, NEVER download beta drivers, try using the latest non beta one on their site.

Also try installing monitor drivers if you haven't already, setting up refresh rate to something higher(for the line thing issue) and as i said installing new drivers should work.

I doubt the issue is in hardware, try the new drivers and possibly see the help section on NVIDIA's page.

Hope this helps you.

EDIT:

Whenever you install a graphic driver, you should restart the computer.

About the "No CR-ROM found" i think it is because you might not own a legal copy of Warcraft or you need to install drivers for your CD-ROM since it may not already be in Windows default drivers and therefore won't work as Plug-n-play.

That's the driver that fu*ked up the thing. Here is what shows up on screen properties, there should be a name of graphic card:
