    You may be able to use a vista driver if you install it in compatibility mode. to do that right click the installer>properties>choose OS

    That card is also known as the old (now very old) Ti 4800 SE, and there is a good reason nothing will install for it, there is zero support for it in Windows 7 (will 7 even work with an old DirectX 8.1 card?). The best you might get for it is the last XP driver,

    ForceWare Windows XP/2000 32-bit

    installed in compatibility mode,

    Compatibility Mode - Vista Forums

    or manually through Device Manager. Seeing as your motherboard has a PCI-E slot as well as the AGP slot, might be easier to just pick up a cheap PCI-E card that will work with Windows 7 than trying to get that old one working.

    I wonder what fred54321's motherboard is. AGP with a Q6600? Unusual.

    However, there are ATI AGP graphics cards that support Win7. Here's a Newegg link:

    Newegg.com - Retail, DirectX 11, DirectX 10.1, DirectX 10, AGP 4X/8X, Desktop Graphics / Video Cards, Video Cards & Video Devices, Computer Hardwar...

    The highest end cards use the ATI HD4670 chipset. Those are fairly new.

    If you get one of these, make sure to get the ATI/AMD "hotfix" drivers that support AGP cards. The generic Catalyst drivers may not work.

    Unusual, not really. Asrock made quite a few boards back when PCI-E first came out with bot a PCI-E slot and an AGP slot. Here is fred54321's motherboard,

    ASRock > Products > 4CoreDual-SATA2

    They had an AMD socket 939 board that had both slots as well as a slot for a daughterboard that allowed you to use socket AM2 CPU's,
