Windows 7 Graphics Card Problem- "Hardware acceleration is either disabled or not supported..."?

I'm having a problem with my new Windows 7. I just had a new graphics card installed and now, the games are running extremely slow. When I first start up any game, it just says "Hardware acceleration is either disabled or not supported by your video card driver, which could slow game performance. Make sure you have the latest video card driver installed and that hardware acceleration is turned on."



I don't know the name of the card my repair guy installed, but I know when I pull up a dxdiag, the name of it is "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" which is what Windows automatically puts when there apparently is no contact with a graphics card. How do I install the one that was put in? Or can anyone help?



P.S. I tried lowering a lever to "the third notch," so if that's what you're going to tell me, I tried it already. :p|||▐█████████████████████████████████

the only thing you can do is open up you're PC and see what the brand of the graphics card

You can try just running Microsoft Update. It will often install drivers for devices it can identify.



Update: TheIntersect: That almost definitely won't work. It will just report it as a standard VGA adapter. Without the drivers installed, it has no way to know the name of the video card is.|||Ok to figure out which graphics card you have.. Press window key and pause break together.. then click on device manager(top left)... and find on the list Display adapters and in there it should tell you what grpahics card you have... to find the driver simply type in google you graphics card and drivers... e.g Nivida 9600gt drivers
