    Welcome to seven forums Tomas1: their is an AGP hot fix for your card Try using this, Catalyst AGP Hotfix - Radeon HD 4000 Radeon HD 3000 and Radeon HD 2000 Series AGP products Good Luck Please post back. Also if you go to this page Global Provider of Innovative Graphics, Processors and Media Solutions | AMD And put in your info, under product model you'll need to choose your Series card If your card is AGP. It will then take you the link provided above. These drivers are for AGP cards Only.. It says 911 but the download you click is actualy will show 9.12 now. Your board is a socket 478 which is getting a bit out dated but some people have had success running seven on it. Good luck Fabe

    If this is the case then your most likely not going to be able to run Windows Seven on your system. Are you also trying to run the 64 bit version of Seven? You should also make sure your chipser drivers and bios are the most current. You can try dsiabling all ports your not using like floppy , serial but if the hot fix isn't working then your probably out of luck. Fabe

    Your latest bios is 1007 and is only for additional CPU support. If your not experienced in flashing your bios then I wouldn't recommend it. I don't think it will make any difference. If the AGP hotfix won't help then I'm inclined to think your not going to be able to run windows Seven on your system It wasn't even ssupported for Vista. Maybe someone else can offer some suggestions but I think your out of luck. Sorry. Fabe

    No matter which card you choose your still going to have to follow the AGP hotfix to get it to work.
