I just reformatted my computer and when I go to install the drivers for my card it says that it can't find any drivers for current hardware then exits.

Do you have onboard video? If so, take out the card, boot up, turn off, put the card back in, and boot back up, try to install the drivers. Stupid question, but do you have the latest drivers for it? If so, try an older version.

The card is an NVidia Geforce FX5500, and the drivers are from Microsoft, instead of NVidia

Yes, they made the operating system; they should know how to make drivers for their OS.
I think they make all NVidia drivers; my friend has an MX520 and it uses MS drivers.
