The standard VGA driver you are referring to is what Win7 installs when the video driver for your chip or card is unavailable or not specialized enough for a WHQL driver.

Turn on Windows Updates and check for a newer driver to install.

Can you look at the Specs for your computer to see exactly what graphics card or chip it has so we can help you find the driver?

Otherwise please say the make and model of your computer.
 
im on it....

What is your computer make and model number? Example HP 1701, or Gateway 5254

You gave your monitor model.

The computer model will be on a sticker on the side or back of the case, next to the serial number. Need the exact model number.

Then what is the video card or chip make and model?

Standard VGA is a default driver, not the card or chip. Need the make and model of the card or chip.

You should find out if your computer has a video card in it.

It may just have a chip on the Intel mobo. The 865 chipset stops with XP but has a 2007 Intel Extreme Graphics driver update that might work here: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Desktop+Boards&ProductLine=Intel%c2%ae+865+Chipset+Family+Boards&ProductProduct=Intel%c2%ae+Desktop+Board+D865GLC

Unzip the driver download on your desktop and browse to the driver folder from the Driver update tab on the VGA Display Adapter Driver in the Device Manager. Ask for help here if you need it.

Ask your friend that built the computer what video card it has in it. If its just the "onboard" video, then i'm afraid your out of luck and the computer doesnt support aero.

Great tool, thanks.

You see a graphics card listed after running GPUZ, Yoshi?

If not, look at the back of your case at where your monitor is plugged in: is it plugged to a card in one of the PCI slots, or to a port grouped with the others?

A card in the PCI slot will look something like this:

This mobo has onboard graphics -Intel 865G - and according to this page Vista and Win7 drivers are unavailable.

Aero effects my not be possible without an add-on display adapter.

It may be an Intel mobo with onboard graphics but somehow Nvidia is showing up in the audit.

Did you look at the back of your case to see if there is a video card as shown in the screenshot I attached above? If not, then that Nvidia is a ghost listing.

Was this the Intel Extreme graphic driver link I gave you yesterday? How do you know it updated the driver. Did the date or version change in Device Manager?
