Windows 7 Not Recognizing Graphics Card

[Amit Kania]

so i used to have windows xp pro on my old pc and i decided to upgrade it to windows 7 32 bit ultimate. it was successful but now windows does not recognize the graphics card it just shows i have the standard vga adaptor which is my motherboards intergrated graphics i am guessing. i remember my graphics card was my intel. i used to be able to play games such as battlefield 2 and minecraft on windows xp and now i cant even open those games or play youtube videos without it lagging. i have tried all the troubleshooting techniques but they dont work. can you please help

I would like to help you fix this error. Sounds like you are missing the drivers for you gpu (graphics card). You will need those in order to use it. There is different drivers needed for Windows XP versus Windows 7. You need windows 7 32bit drivers. (x32 bit drivers are different from x64 bit).

Hope this helps! 🙂

See if you can find drivers for your intel graphic card ... without them windows 7 will not detect your card.
What is the graphic card model no ?
Search intel website for drivers.

You probably need to update the graphics driver for your discrete graphics card.
