Windows 7 should automatically find and install the proper drivers from Windows Update.

However to find out, another way of doing this would be Start > Run > type "dxdiag" [without the quotes] and press enter. Allow it to check for WHQL signatures, then click on the "Display" tab on the top. The "Chip Type" is your card.

Where do I go in Windows 7 to find out what graphic card I have and if it needs to be updated. I remember on Windows xp you use to could just right click your desktop and go to properties.

Thanks!

To find out all hardware and software information about your computer, I suggest you run Belarc Advisor:

Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit

I have been using it since the XP days. It works great. Runs fine on WINDOWS 7.
