Default Graphic Card on Windows 7

I just got my computer built and running, and have a question about running windows 7. When I put in the video card installation CD and it asks what OS is being used does vista = win 7? Same thing for everything else I have to install as well....

Couldn't find anything on their site and ended up having to just google. It linked me to an apparently secret area XD downloading right now, hopefully it works.

Ya the one I found before worked fine, and it was finding my graphic card model that I was having problems with. This solved the other issue as well I was having.

Thanks.
