Its the one that is basically stuck to your motherboard so you can't take it off.

A VGA. Well the problem is that your system is so old that makes it even harder to troubleshoot. Have you considered a virus or software problem?

The reason why the graphics card is not recognized is because it is incompatible with Windows 7. Install windows xp and then install the drivers. It should then work.
