    Your welcome. Your best bet is with 32 bit version of 7 as your 512mb short of the minimum system requirements for seven. Fabe

    Ok I am just getting around to trying this. I went to ms update catalog but am not sure which driver to choose - they all seem to say Fujitsu, Mirage or Siemens Computers. Does this matter? Am I just picking the most recent by date & XP?

    Also how do I install in Compatibility Mode?

    Thanks for the help!

    I don't think I can - this problem occurs when I try to change my screen resolution to something higher than 800. When I click Apply, my screen goes black with a little red box that says "Video mode not supported". When this happens, I can't use the Snippet tool & any keyboard functions (i.e. Print Screen), aren't recognized & have no effect. I did TRY it, but when I was able to paste into paint, it didn't capture what I needed. It was a jarbled mix of my desktop background with black overlaying on top.

    Yes, that seems like a driver issue. Do you know what video card you have? If not, try Speccy, that will tell you.

    Ok that tool shows: Generic PnP monitor on standard VGA graphics adapter

    I also used it to update my system spec info in my profile, including my Motherboard which is a Shuttle FS51 (Socket 478) SiS 651 Chipset

    Could you please type msinfo32.exe into the start box, go to the Components tab in the left pane, and click on the Graphics entry. Could you please post a screenshot?

    Hmm, can't seem to find graphics card.

    Okay, let's try this way: do you have a desktop or a laptop?

    Edit: Nevermind, I see that you have a desktop.

    Do you have onboard or discreet graphics?
