How to find missing drivers for Windows 7

I installed Windows 7 on machine that was a couple of years old.  When it booted up, the max display resolution was 640x480 because of the old vga video driver that shipped with Windows 7.  I tried to find an updated driver from several places but ended up being saved by DriverMax.

DriverMax is a FREE application that helps identify unknown hardware and uploads the data to their site and provides downloads for updated drivers. 

Shortly after using this software I was back up and running at 1280x1024 (max for my monitor).

Sounds like you need to have an internet connection to make this work. What do you do if the network card is one of the missing drivers?
