If you go to Start > control panel > system > Device manager, Check here for any yellow question marks, When you click on any item it will open a box where you can update driver, try this on your graphics card.

Just a word of warning! (As Martin would say....)

Never, ever, ever, update your graphics card drivers using the Microsoft Windows Update website.

I have tried this in desperation many times, but when you reboot, you can't see anything on the screen. It's just a blank screen.

Your best bet would be to find out who the manufacturer is either by following the steps shown by alanwjones or by opening the case and checking on the card itself and then downloading them from the manufacturers website, but

Never, ever, ever, update your graphics card drivers using the Microsoft Windows Update website!!!!

As above you could also try ' Roll Back Driver' first.
