Hi, chimney oaks.

What is the "via/s3g unichrome igp"?

[mitch]

onboard video card ( chip set)
and seems all i have found on upgrade to vista is
"contact your board manufacture" for the update

i found one site with a driver but called generic and would not guarentee it would work!
don't know what to tell you about it?

maybe start posting around asking what is the cheapest Vista compatable video card for you?
you will need to see if you have agp socket on the MoBo first


then you could disable the default video board and install a new one

hi corrine and mitch,

"contact your board manufacture" for the update

i tried that but they didnt have an update that would solve the issue.

i found one site with a driver but called generic and would not guarentee it would work!

im not keen on generic anything. generic=trouble;-)

you will need to see if you have agp socket on the MoBo first

thank you for the tip because im kinda new at this driver updating and mobo board territory stuff;-(.

thanks to the both of you. ive decided to leave things alone and ill find a cheap box around here with vista installed and see if i like windoz latest and greatest.
