Hi all,

i recently installed vista (rtm) on my machine sucessfully by i have problem with display...it wont change from 640*480 resolution and 16 bit colour mode....

vista is not supporting my drivers...i searched a lot at intels website and google but could not find any solution..

please help me with the required Graphic drivers or steps to solve this problem..i really cant go for a new PC right now...i heard we can overcome with this problem.....but dont know how.

my system specs are

1) Intel (R) 82845G Graphics Controller

2)Intel (R) 82801 DB Ultra ATA Controller

3)Intel D845GVSR Motherboard

4)Intel Pentium 4 @ 2400 MHZ Processor

Finally i made vista work on my pc with latest updates of the drivers intel has released for "XP".......and manually installing them..did the job........

but i have some more problems i am not able to use some of the vista Aero features.

1) Glass -- working

2)Dynamic windows -- not working

3)Taskbar thumbnails -- not working -- i went to task bar properties ---view thumbnails in task bar check box is disabled..

4)Windows Flip -- working

5)Windows Flip 3D--not working

i went to themes to check wether Windows Areo is present or not.
only vitsa basic is present.......i dont know what to do.......
Please suggest..my PC has the minimum requirements...
see the first post..i reinstalled vista but no change. :mellow:


I came through some steps while googling on how to enable Aero Theme on unsupported graphic controllers by editing some registry keys......but they all are for different builds..

i dont know on how to make those registry changes on Vista RTM or Retail releases....right now i am experimenting on how to enable Aero Theme for RTM release..

If any one already have a solution for this please update it here...

Please click on this link if you cannot find intel graphic controller which runs low power chipsets like 82845.

Best of the Internet

Direct draw can also be enabled if you have the compatible hardware.

This link cures problems for all the chipsets.
