So i recently reinstalled my pc( Dell Inspiron 3521) from windows 8.1 to windows 7. And the first thing i saw is, that it didnt recognise my Intel graphics card anymore, i tried to install the drivers, but no use, all it did was fail on each try. So maybe someone of you have had the same problems, any suggestions how to fix this? Please, I really need some help!

There should be brightness setings in your power mangement options which you can get to by right clicking your battery icon in the corner. Also WEI is a terrible benchmark of.... anything, it gives my two AMD HD 7870s a lower score than my old gtx 460 .

What you have is intel HD graphics which means your cpu is performing all the necessary graphical work, you dont have a discrete video card. If you have a display signal at all it means your intel graphics are working fine

Well i tried that, and it doesnt even appear there, like seriously I tried that and the manual ways on my keyboard, and still does nothing. Maybe i should reinstall my pc again or something? Because there used to be an Intel HD graphics settings button, but there isnt one now. And when i click on device manager on "Monitors" all it gives me is "Generic PnP monitor" ...
