That shouldn't stop you from upgrading your card. Just disable Aero and other visual effects such as transparency, do not make a slideshow that changes pictures every 15 seconds and you should be all right for now.

I didn't read very carefully everything, but even if you are able to enable Aero with this card, it will probably slow down your PC and make everything frustrating and annoying -- which is not the benefit from Aero.

I'd even suggest to get a new motherboard with an integrated graphics processor, if your CPU is compatible with newer motherboards. What are your specs? Not every PC can run Windows 7 smoothly and without problems. You should read more before installing new OS.

I understand some people are only trying to help here... BUT, telling someone there card is ancient and to upgrade is no help whatsoever...... I came here looking for possible solutions to problems with this card and windows 7 and found nothing useful at all.... first of all, to the person who said this card cannot do aero....this card is plenty capable of running aero..... mine does no problem..... I just have issues in games.....not all of us have money to go upgrade to a new card so our kids can play games......let me figure out which driver I used that worked for me and I will post it for the people looking for serious help instead of telling you to go fork out another $100 for a new card.....like I said, the driver I used works fine for 7 and running aero, I just run into all kinds of graphical glitches in games.....

use the version 96 driver for windows vista 32x

BTW

my system is

P4 3.0Ghz
160G ide
8x agp slot
300wts psu
