First step is narrowing down your video card manufacturer:
1. Press Start/Windows Key
2. Type "dxdiag" into the search text box (without quotes)
3. DirectX Diagnostic Tool will open, and you will have to click the Display 1 tab at the top of it's window.
4. You will now see the Name and Manufacturer of the device in top left group box.
There are only 3 major graphic chipsets out these days, if you don't have one of them you will have to skip to the note at the bottom.
If it says ATI go here:
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx
If it says Nvidia go here:
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
If it says Intel go here:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Default.aspx
When you're on those sites it's just a matter of using the Name of the device to track down the right one.
Note: If you have a brand-name computer (Toshiba, Acer, HP, etc.) and can't find the appropriate drivers from the sites above you need to go to their support website, and look up the computer model, and download the drivers from there.
