W7 graphics driver

Loaded new W7 Home prem last night. It loaded right over the top of W7 RC, despite what everyone says. However, while it has found the internet and the sound, it has not identified the graphics card, and I'm having real trouble with that.

Is there somewhere the system will display exactly what is in the machine? So I can search for that specific driver. Even pulling the hardware out to look doesn't show much these days, due to mass production.

Right now, it just keeps defaulting to a bog standard VGA, with quite a few res settings, but not the 1440 x 900 I need. The Beta seemed to find it easily.

There seems to be no way to get it to try anything else. Deleting the driver just sees it reinstalling the default again.
