I cant play any games on my computer like rumble fighters and other mmorpg games. I recently switched from windows xp to windows 7 and before i switched i could play any game i downloaded. So every time i start my game this standard vga adapter thing pops up.

Try to update to the latest DirectX version and also check if that you graphic driver are installed. Also what graphic card you use? Standard VGA adapter is onboard cards.

I have the latest direct x and i dont know what graphic card i have
 
Ok you have an onboard graphic card then. Check in Device Manager if the onboard card driver is well installed
 
Ok... Then it may be a problem with your directx drivers or the card itself. Try uninstalling everything and reinstalling. Also is Windows Aero enable and working?

"Card name: Standard VGA Graphics Adapter"

You need to install your graphics/video card driver. Your graphics card looks like an integrated (S3 Unichrome Pro IGP). You'll be hard pressed to play any recent, big-title 3D games with it and some games just won't flat out work. However, perhaps the games you play will be fine though.

You should be able to get it from your board manufacturer or simply Google it.
 
I think you're out of luck :( You are currently running with Windows 7 generic graphics driver and there is no W7 hardware specific driver for your graphics chip.

The way i see it...

1. Your directx shows it's a Via K8M800 chipset
Code: 
Card name: Standard VGA Graphics Adapter
Manufacturer: (Standard display types)
Chip type: [B]VIA K8M800[/B]

2. The VIA FAQ says only generic graphics drivers for that chipset :(
Code: 
Integrated Graphics
VIA has released Windows 7 drivers for the following chipsets:
VIA CN896, P4M900, VN896, VX800/820 series, VX855/VX875

Older chipsets can run Windows 7 using the default drivers built into Windows 7, but some graphical features of Windows 7 may not be supported.

Here's VIA's download site you check yourself

/* EDIT */
Oh. you can try the MSI site as well since they did the m/b. Looks like they have an automated tool... tho based on the info at the Via site... don't think they'll have it for W7 but never hurts to look
