try using a different program to see if your card is recognized. systemrequirements.com isn
't allways accurate. I use everest free edition. it works really well and gives a variety of reports. http://www.techspot.com/downloads/4864-everest-free-edition.html

Not really sure what to do, I found it with the program but when I right click it all I can do is copy it? But when I go to summary or display it's not therer?

On the left side click on computer

than on summary in the drop down menu uder it

under display it should list your video card.

if its not listed than you do have a problem of some kind. i dont think it would be a driver issue. maybe a problem with the slot it is in or with the vid card itself

It sounds like that is what you have done and the card wasn't listed. can you try the card in another lap top or another card in your lap top so you can see if its the graphics card or the slot it is in that is the problem.
