I bought my daughter an Acer Aspire 1300 laptop from someone on here for her to play some games, do schoolwork etc.

When I tried to load the games on (Dogz etc) they wouldn't come on. A friend has looked at it and said the video card isnt big enough and he can't upgrade it.

Will it be possible for me to upgrade the video card or is there anything else I can do?

I am gutted, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Can you post the specs?

I will try when I get it back. (Complete novice!!)

It's a laptop so you'll be unable to replace the gfx card. Most use integrated solutions with the idea you don't upgrade.
