Computer says I have Standard VGA Graphics Adapter after switching HDD
Hello, I have a problem, as you may already know: After switching my hard drive out for a new one (Because of what I think to have been a virus), my computer keeps telling me that I have a "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter," when I know I have an "ATI Radeon HD 6480G" graphics card. I've looked for drivers to install for my actual graphic card, but I can't find and; I also am not sure on how to install them. I have no idea how, or why, this happens, although I do know I can't play certain games (I've tried one). Speccy says this about it:

^I guess you're going to have to click it...
I also know that before I switched hard drives, my screen resolution went up to 1366x768 (I believe, might have been 1368), and now it only goes up to 1024x768. And if I need to install my drivers or whatever, could I get a link to the driver download and instructions on how to install them? Also, as you might have guessed, it's a laptop. If you need any other computer info, or other info; just let me know. Thanks for the help in advance!
