Here's my situation; I bought a used laptop from someone off of Craigslist. It had a nice video card in it, but I forgot to write down it's name. I recently installed a newer version of Windows, and it doesn't say I have that video card anymore. It says I have a standard vga card. Trying to update the driver doesn't work. There are no stickers on the laptop, and the guy I bought it from hasn't answered my calls.
Is there any way to find out what video card it is? If I open the laptop and look for it, will it say on the card? Or is there a website that can scan my pc and tell me? I look in the device manager under display adapters and all it says is standard vga graphics adapters.
I can't remember exactly the name of the card, it was something like nvidia geforce 9800gt but I'm not sure what letters came after the 9800 part. Is there any way I can get the laptop to detect the card?

Please help.|||This laptop has an: Nvidia GeForce 8800M GTX 512MB graphics card.
