im assuming you have win xp. first right click on your desktop. then select properties. at the top there is a tab that says settings, click it. there will be a button that says advanced, click that one. then click on the tab that says adapter. that should tell you what kind of card you have. then you head over to google and search for the drivers.

Eiii

Get a better video card/update your current video card's drivers. You may not have an Nvidia card. You can get a video card that's OpenGL compatable (though not very powerful) for $20-30 now.

Also, don't download drivers unless you're sure what kind of card you have. Installing different drivers could really screw it up, I assume.

Jees, just uninstall all the crap and begin again, and get some computer lessons or something.
