You do exactly that. Go onto Microsoft's site and look for the relevent 'latest driver'
I went and searched myself however and found nothing. Does your computer actually have a video card at all?

select custom scan and it will scan for anything they may need updating, like network drivers, graphic card drivers etc

I think that your card may just not be operable with the game that you're trying to run. In other words, the game you've installed requires more power to run than your card can suffice.
It'd be a bit easier to say for sure whether that was the issue or not if we knew what game you were trying to run, and what specific model of card you had.

I am trying to play Nostale. I tryed the DXialg. thing on run to see wat i have installed and it says no 3d acceleration software installed.

I had this problem before and tried to look it up. Some guy said that if you use adhesive glue on the graphics card it fixes the problem, only a little bit of the glue though, not like the queen and all her jewellery. xD

It didn't work for me however, and for some people it was the cause of a sickness that lasted weeks, the amount of underpants they went through. >.<

looks like you need a new graphics card, you can probably find a store that sells them cheap online

Yeah, you definitely need a new graphics card--no doubt. I've suffered through this many times with my old graphics card in my desktop--it doesn't even have shader capabilities XD.
