If you use Microsoft Update it might automatically download and install an appropriate driver for the card.

To enable Microsoft Update, go to Windows Update and click 'Change Settings' on the left pane. Enable Microsoft Update, click OK and search for updates.

Did you look the card over carefully for any kind of model number. There should be either a sticker with the model/serial number or silk-screened on the card someplace. If you can't find it there go to Device Manager and double click on the device in question and then from there click on the Details tab then the Down arrow and click Hardware IDs. Do a search for the Hardware IDs should give you the vender/model of the card it will be in this format PCI\VEN_***&DEV_***. Where *** and *** is the Vender and Device ID's. Each PCI device has a unique Vender and Device ID. Hope that helps.

Mine was also sarcastic.
Anyways, came up with this.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-nVidia-GeForce-4-MX-420-64MB-Video-Graphics-Card-8Y483-TS-M-8V01C-/251261572312?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item3a805b54d8
Geforce 4 MX 420 64MB video card

But another look says huilun02 has got a closer match than me.
