Exclamation SERIOUS HELP! Laptop graphic card not found?

Hi, I recently reinstalled vista 32 bit, and I currently have an alienware thats not even a year old and it has geforce 8700m gt but for some reason after reinstalling my OS, i checked my device manager, and it has standard vga graphic adapter under display adapters and doesn't say geforce 8700m anymore... I can't even play simple games on this computer and my screen resolution isn't as good as it was before i reinstalled vista and is somewhat blurry....

Is there a major problem that I am not aware of? I highly doubt my graphic card is damaged or anything... Anyone know?

Thank you

You only need to download and install vista 32bit driver for that video which is here.
