Vista - Problem with Video Card

Today I decided to upgrade to Vista and am a little surprised to find out
that now it won't recognize my 128MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 7200 video card.
The computer says that I am using a standard VGA card, but I am not, and
this seriously makes my screen look horrible.

I'm really a little bit upset by this, all of the upgrade utilities said I
was fine for upgrading to Vista Home Premium. Could anyone point me to the
right place to fix this?

Unfortunately, there are no generic drivers available for GeForce GO
adapters from nVidia or any other source, since support and drivers for the
GO series must come from your laptop manufacturer.
