    the graphics card should be under display adaptors in the device manager.

    what does it say in yours then, if the card is missing?

    Switch from "STAMINA" to "SPEED" and you have your missing NV7400 back!

    It's very difficult to say from afar. After Vista installation a lot of different tasks are running, so give them some time to do their job. Check with task manager all running tasks, play with power management settings, etc.
