How to get Windows to see the NVIDIA graphics card on y Macbook pro?

I'm using Windows 7 on Bootcamp on my 15" macbook pro with retina display. I want to use a programme that requires high end graphics. The problem I have is that I can't get windows to recognise there is a NVIDIA graphics card in the computer. What should I do to get windows to see this card?

You either download drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant and save to USB FAT disk, or you insert and use 10.6.x OS X DVD when in Windows and install and run the SETUP from there.

Step 4: Install the Boot Camp Drivers for Windows
After installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows using your Mac OS X installation disc. The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort,built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and thefunction keys on an Apple keyboard.
The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and theApple Boot Camp system tray item.
To install the Boot Camp drivers:
1 Eject the Windows installation disc.
2 Insert the Mac OS X disc. If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
3 Follow the onscreen instructions.
If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
Windows that appear only briefly during the installation don’t require your input.
If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you mustrespond to. Check the taskbar and look behind open windows.
Important: Do not click the Cancel button in any of the installer dialogs.
4 After your computer restarts, follow the instructions in the Found New Hardware Wizard to update your software drivers (Windows XP only).
5 Follow the instructions for any other wizards that appear.
6 Check for updated Boot Camp drivers by using Apple Software Update or going to www.apple.com/support/bootcamp.
If You Have Problems Installing the Device Drivers
If it appears that the Boot Camp drivers weren’t successfully installed, try repairing them.
To repair Boot Camp drivers:
1 Start up your computer in Windows.
2 Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
3 If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
4 Click Repair and follow the onscreen instructions.
If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
If you need to reinstall specific drivers, you can install one driver at a time. For example,if your built-in iSight camera isn’t working, you can reinstall just the iSight driver.
Individual drivers are in the Drivers folder on the Mac OS X installation disc.

The wireless internet card in my macbook pro 2009 is damaged, where can I have it replaced or is there any alternative way so that I can connect to wifi?
Thanks

Really? The AASP I went to services both Macs and iPhones (and was actually within that list,) and I was very surprised earlier that they refused to help me with repairing my iPhone 5, even if I voluntarily and expressly said that I am willing to pay for the cost. The service provider said he can't help me with anything and advised that I have it shipped to Singapore (and since that is very difficult for me now, I came here instead to ask for advice).
I will try another AASP very soon and shall update you. Thanks for your help, Clinton!

Buy a new one?
Seriously, you can't upgrade a video card on a laptop, unless your a electronics whiz or something.
The Intel HD 3000 is a integrated graphics, meaning the CPU does the graphics and isn't all that great because GPU's are more powerful than CPU's apparently.

The most powerful vidoe cards are in desktop machines which you can exchange, and for less money Windows tower is a better 3D gaming platform as it comes with Windows when you buy the comptuer (a $300 savings) most games are on Windows because of the less expensive and open hardware.
However! If your into 3D gaming and need a Mac laptop, then you'll need a
2.2 Ghz 15" MacBook Pro with 1GB Radeon 6750M video card or
2.2 Ghz 17" Macbook Pro with 1GB Radeon 6750M video card.
(2.3Ghz is fine too, not all that much faster really)
This Radeon 6750M is THREE times faster than the pitiful Intel HD 3000.
The object being is you buy as much video card performance up front as you can, and play all the latest games at over 50 fps on max settings!
Then over time as new games come out and demand more hardware, you trim down the graphics in the game itself to keep the frame rate up.
Eventually though, you'll have to buy a new MacBook Pro, because you can't (reasonably) change the video card in laptops like you can with a desktop like a Windows PC tower or a MacPro.
The iMac you can't do squat with neither. Which is a shame actually.

You need to enable it from bios first...
Then you will recieve a prompt during boot to hit f10 to configure it.

I sit possible to upgrade the graphics card in my Macbook Pro?

I own a macbook pro 2.4 ghz intel core duo, 4gb ram with NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB graphics card. I'm finding this graphics card pretty shocking when it comes to even the simplest of 3D games...i know probably my fault for choosing a laptop not suitable for gaming but still i did expect it to be able to handle graphics like on football manager.
Anyway my question is, is there any way to upgrade my graphics card and how much would it cost?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I wouldn't expect Skype or iWork to be a problem. I don't know Spotify.
Have you used Disk Utility to correct permissions? This is a routine maintenance procedure that can improve some things. If you are not familiar with using this utility it's sufficient to see at the end 'permissions repair complete' or similar. There are likely to be some messages saying certain things couldn't be corrected but usually these are not serious issues.
The other thing to watch is whether you are running on battery power or mains. When there is intensive processor activity & some other internal activities too the computer might need mains power to perform at its best. You can try various things on battery alone then on battery & mains together and compare performance.

How can I e-sign with my CAC/Smart Card on a Macbook Pro?

I have a macbook pro, and I also have pkard for mac. I am looking for a way to sign xfdl files with my cac/smartcard. I am open to purchasing 3rd party software, just frustrated with the lack of a solution. Thanks to anyone who can offer support.

If it isn't listed here, http://militarycac.com/apple.htm, it is likely not available. The program would have to support it, and if it doesn't, there isn't a way to make it work.
