Hold the windows button on your keyboard (looks like 4 squares) between ctrl and alt in addition to the break button (on the topright of the keyboard). That will bring you the system properties. Goto hardware and device manager. Then under display adapters will be your videocard.

Thanks.
I'm not trying to open up drivers in internet explorer. I put the disc in the machine and it automatically opens up firefox (my default browser) and displays a screen that gives me the option to pick my language, then another one with a "install driver" button. Clicking that gets me a "Auto install for browsers other than IE not supported...".
Then it gives me instructions to do it manually "Go to my computer, click on the disc drive open the file, install bla bla bla." I did all that and it came time to install the file it allegedly installed, but did so instantaneously. Before the sound of me clicking on "ok" reached my ears a screen popped up saying "driver successfully installed". But nothing has changed. It didn't do anything. I'm having a hard time believing it installed anything of substance that fast and it doesn't seem like it did.
It's an Intel82865G Graphics controller, if that means anything.
