There Is No Hope!

Okay, with an emo title like that, I'm sure I'll get responses. But it pretty much is true. Here's the deal:

My computer my dad gave me won't play games. (simple enough) But, when I ran dxdiag, this comes up for the display:

I don't understand how it could say n/a for the graphics card.

I would like to download the drivers for my graphics card, but I can't figure out what it is. It says the default graphics card on my computer case is
"ATI Radeon X200 IGP"
so I downloaded the drivers for that, but nothing changed after I installed them. So I'm guessing that's not the graphics card I have. I tried opening my computer, but the graphics card isn't labeled. Another thing I've tried is using the "Aida" program, which just identifies all the hardware on my computer, and that doesn't know my motherboards name, and nothing shows up about my graphics card at all.

So maybe I do have integrated graphics like the sticker on my case says, but it's not exactly that kind. Why can't anything identify my graphics card? Please help me, and thanks for reading this if you did.

Oh wait, here's a screenshot of the Aida program:

I've never installed ATI driver before, But I know you need to download and install the Catalyst Control Center along with the drivers, same version, this is probably what you need to do.
 
Well, if it says integrated graphics on the case then that is what you have unless it's been upgraded, which it doesn't look like it has been.

I haven't personally upgraded it, but it was a display computer at Best Buy, so it may have been.

Also, I did get the Catalyst Control Center.

Herro? help meh! the scroll bars on my windows scroll soooo slow and skippy. I still need y'alls help.

Okay guys, after trying to install stepmania, it suggested that my card was a "GeForce4 MX 440-SE" Now, I don't know why installation for a video game would be able to find what a program specifically made for that couldn't, but now I have the problem for finding the drivers.

Yes, I've gone to the NVIDIA website, but all I found was the drivers for the 6 series and up, and I think the one I have is considered a 4 series, but yeah, could you guys point me in the right direction?
 
aha! i know, im ghetto like that. thanks, i'll see if that works.

EDIT: yeah thanks it works, i'd kiss you, but you know, wires and thousands of miles and all that...
