How do you make the punisher game detect my vga card on my laptop?

You have not offered enough information to answer this question, we need Type of laptop, type of video card, amount of video ram, if it is shared. and soforth. Post a follow up, and we can try to help you. Keep in mind, that many games can not run on a video card that shares system memory. Aslo keep in mind that most laptops only have 32 megs dedicated to the video cards. Newer high performance laptops may have 64 to 128 megs of video memory, but thet don't utilize many of the DX features games use to render images. Laptops are not intended to run games of a graphicaly intensive nature. (unless specificaly designed for gameing, and these are quite expensive.) Keep this in mind when updating the information on this question.
