How can I tell what kind of graphics/video card I have?

Alright, I just reformatted my computer and now none of my video games work anymore. I asked around and someone suggested an outdated graphics/video card, so I tried to check what graphics card I have. I have tried the following:

1. Start>Run>dxdiag>Display Tab [Results: It doesn't detect a video card]

2. Start>Rus>msinfo32>Components>Display [Results: It doesn't detect a video card]

3. Installed GPU-Z to detect [Results: "Error: Unknown Architecture"]



[I'm running Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2]



HELP.|||Try going to Start>Control Panel>System>Hardware (tab)>Device Manager>Display Adapters|||go to Nvidia website http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.asp… and choose option 2 graphics drivers or if you have an ATI card got to http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html and select your video card? what model is your pc??|||go into control panel click on systems. go into windows experience thingy . on the left u should see advanced tools. click that.and then click view advanced system details in system information. then go into components. then graphics and it will tell u|||side click on your desktop and go to properties and then go to setting and it show be there under the little tv
