    Hi everyone, i have just installed a new hard disk drive so i updated my laptop from vista into Window 7 premium (x64). Now everything seems to be ok except that my laptop doesnt seem to be able to find my graphics card. My graphics card is a Nvidia Geforce 9500M GS but i cannot locate it anywhere, i tried looking in device manager but only see standard VGA graphics adaptar in the "display adapters" tab.
    Hope someone can help me with this problem, Please and Thank you.

    You need to install the Nvidia drivers to get the card recognized.

    There's nothing to be found- your card is not recognized properly by Windows.
    You need to install drivers from nVidia.
