Hi themaker,Welcome to the forums down load and install the vista driver your card has now become "legacy"
this is taken from the AMD website

Note: AMD’s DirectX 9 ATI Radeon graphics accelerators are not officially supported under Windows 7. If the user chooses to, they can install the ATI Catalyst Windows Vista graphics driver under Windows 7. Please be aware that none of the new Windows 7 graphics driver (WDDM 1.1) features are supported (as the Windows Vista level graphics driver is limited to WDDM 1.0 level support). Using the ATI Catalyst Windows Vista driver under Windows 7 is not officially supported by AMD, and as such AMD will not provide any form of customer support for users running in this configuration
Any customers using a combination of a ATI Radeon™ HD 2000 Series, ATI Radeon™ HD 3000 Series, or ATI Radeon™ HD 4000 Series product with any of the legacy products listed above in a single PC system must use the ATI Catalyst 9.3 or earlier driver. All future ATI Catalyst™ releases made available past the ATI Catalyst™ 9.3 release will not include support for the legacy products listed above or any of the features associated with those legacy products.
AMD may periodically provide Windows XP and Windows Vista driver updates (for the products listed above) for critical fixes only. No new features will be provided in future driver updates. The Linux ATI Catalyst™ driver will only be supported in Linux distributions prior to February 2009 for the legacy products listed above

Hi themaker, hopefully yes ,Almost all vista drivers will work in Win7 especially when a product becomes "legacy" (which means the manufacturer will not release new drivers) If you do encounter any problems ,just hang around awhile and our resident graphic guru will find and reply to this post

Hi themaker ,have you installed the driver in compat mode? http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/316-compatibility-mode.html When you say nothing has changed ,what do you mean? are you getting any image ? in device manager what does it say under display adaptors is your graphic card recognised ?

Yes that will do, first try pointing to the whole folder, if that fails point to the "10-02 legacy "etc

Themaker, you may try one thing.

Right click on the my computer icon , select "manage" in the context menu to open the computer management window.

In the window, click on "device manager" in the left pane, it will list all the devices attached in the right side pane. Expand "display adapter" , and find your graphics card listed there. Right click on your display card's name, and choose "update driver software" . In the resulting dialog, click on "search automatically for updated driver software" .... it will search in not only your computer, but also the internet locations for the appropriate software, and will install that.

Let us know what happened .

Hi themaker try this http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/98073-drivers-install-vista-drivers-windows-7-a.html if this does not work go to device manager , uninstall the radeon driver ,restart the computer and then when windows stsarts searching for the driver point to where you extracted the driver

Hi themaker, Is the problem that you can not get aero to work? If so then I'm afraid it will not work on the graphic card you have ,Have you thought about investing a little cash and buying a better graphic card ? there are some good deals about at the moment as the electronics trade is going through a bit of a lull at the moment

 

[stormy13]

themaker what is the make and model of the motherboard (preferable), or the make and model of the computer?

From everything described so far it sounds like this is an AGP card, which if it is the drivers for it won't install without a working AGP driver (part of the chipset, not the video card driver).

Aero can't work . I don't know why it can't work if driver is "legacy" :S

Hi themaker Legacy means the card is old and no longer supported by the manufacturer Aero will not work in win7 with the card you have, I have the same problem on a Dell I5100 using the mobility radeon 7500 it just will not run Aero even using modded drivers, I am truly sorry about that
