    Default Video Card Identification

    Short version: I need to know what kind of video card I have and I can't open the case and look. Don't buy a Toshiba laptop.

    Details:
    Does anyone know if there's a Windows equivalent to the lspci command? I just got my notebook back from RMA and they replaced the video card on it -- clearly with a different model altogether, since now the manufacturer's rescue disc causes the OS to bluescreen during install. The manufacturer, naturally, has refused to help me with this. Since I want to play FFXI on my laptop, on goes a pirate copy of XPee...but I'm still left not knowing what the hell I have for video hardware. Letting Windows "search the internet" for the appropriate driver is a waste of time. I still have all of the files from the manufacturer's rescue disk on my hard drive, but it won't recognize the new video card because it's a different model than the original shipping. Oddly, it will also not recognize my batterly, and prompts me for a driver every 5 minutes unless I disable it in deviceman.
