Thank you all for your replies.
In regards to that second link and Sly's post, he's saying I need to basically rollback my graphics drivers to my original XP one? I uninstalled the driver the other day and restarted my computer and it just re-installed the one which Win8 gave me.
I notice in the link he provides that it is has links for Win7 drivers, obviously I would have thought I would need the XP ones?
It seems quite complicated just to allow me to play games and don't want anything to go wrong and mess up my computer.

Windows 8 is closer to Win7 kernelwise, hence why sometimes Win7 drivers can work on Win8. he's saying you need to modify a driver file and then attempt to install it.
