no driver for Matrox Millenium P650 AGP ?

[Erich56]

hello folks,
I had bought the Matrox yars ago when I got my WindowsXP. The Millenium P650 was a very good graphic at that time. In fact, for my purposes, it still is. Now that XP is over, I would like to change my system to Windows 7-32bit (RAM is 2GB, processor speed is 2x3GHz - so no problem for Windows7). However, Matrox obviously does not offer a Windows7 driver.
What can I do? Any ideas for, even for workarounds or whatever? Thanks in advance.

hi maxie, thanks for the quick posting.
Have you made good experience with doing this, or is this just a thought?

Some Vista Drivers work with Windows 7 even some xp Drivers work also ...

hi folks, do you think Windows8.1 would work as well?

Upgrade Assistant: FAQ - Windows Help

sorry, doesn't work in this case. The System I would like to upgrade from is WindowsXP. Windows 8.1 Upgrade Assistant isn't supported for Windows XP or Windows Vist.
So all I could do is to first upgrade from XP to Windows7 (the assistant for this gave me green light, in principal, expect that the GraphicCard issue was not mentioned at all).
And then, after having Windows7 installed, I could have the Upgrade Assistant for Windows8.1 run.
A very clumsy situation, unfortunately.
