Graphics card problems with Bootcamp windows 7

I really need some help. I recently switched to a Macbook Pro from a lifetime of windows - but sadly I still need to use windows from time to time espically for gaming. And I have a big problem.
I have a Macbook Pro, 4 gigs of ram, 15.4 inch screen, with the Nvidia 9600gt graphics card, Running Snow Leapord.
I went out and got a copy of Windows 7 - installed the 64 bit version through Bootcamp. It all worked well. But Windows will not recognize my graphics card... at all. It is not in the device manager and when I try to install the drivers from the nvidia site it says that I do not have the hardware. Windows says I have a "generic VGA adaptor"

Is it possible that apple lied to me and did not put a graphics card in my computer?
Is there a way to turn it on somehow?

Have you got the latest drivers?

Boot Camp Drivers Update 2.2 for Windows

Also there is an expected update for bootcamp to come that will more fully support Windows 7

I tried to run the update but I must be doing something wrong. I opened it after it downloaded and it just gives me a text file filled with gibberish. Am I being too much of a mac noob?

OH I see now - I have to install this on the windows side. I will try that.

Well, I installed the updates and it still does not see my graphics card. I will wait for the update. But I'm curious... has no one else had this problem? Really?

Go to the Nvidia.com web site - you can download the latest drivers there.

hi, yeah i have the same problem except im on 32-bit vista not 7.
