    Hey guys, i recently updated my computer with the windows anytime upgrade from vista home premium SP1 to vista ultimate, and now my graphics card no longer is being found.

    My graphics card is the 512MB Nvidia Geforce 8700, and when my computer starts it now says that I am using the Standard VGA graphics adapter, which comes stock with the computer in order to integrate graphics with my graphics card in order to save power.

    So for whatever reason, it now only recognizes the VGA graphics adapter, but not the nvidia graphics card...does anyone know why this would be happening?

    You're just missing GPU drivers. Head to laptopvideo2go.com
