Not much, sorry. If the manufacturer chooses not to support your device in
Vista there's not much else to do.

Hi,
Get a new VC or go without, this isn't a driver problem, it's a hardware
issue. Vista requires Dx9 capabilities and pixel shader 2.0. The 9200
supports only Dx8.1 and pixel shader 1.4. Spec's:

I originally had the 9200 but, of course, it doesn't support Aero so i only
got the basic display.
As Rick say's it isn't a driver problem the 9200 simply doesn't support
vista's advanced graphics.
If you are not bothered about Aero etc stick with the card you have. If you
want Aero (assuming you are running the right supported version of Vista)
then by all means buy another graphics card.
I am not a gamer and, because my machine is just over two years old and
ready for replacement i didn't want to go overboard with an expensive video
card, so i went for the ATI Radeon 9550. The box say's 8x AGP. My system
board is 4x AGP, but the card works fine. It does what i ask it to do, so i
have no complaints.
