So I got windows 7 working on my slighty upgraded compaq presario 2500 laptop, but it doesnt recognize my graphics card. It says standard vga adaptor, which is a problem because i cant run games that need directx 9 like i could before on xp, even if i hit xp sp3 compadability mode. Can anyone help me out with finding a driver that would work?? It's an ATI Radeon IGP 345M

I had a quick look for you and I couldnt find and Vista drivers for your laptop. You said it was a 2500 and according to Link Removed - Invalid URL there are drivers for a V2500, Im not sure if they are the same laptop though. This is what come up for just 2500
Link Removed due to 404 Error
The only other thing I can suggest is make sure you have activated Windows and check Windows update for a driver. Maybe there will be support for it in a later build.
I should add that I went to the Ati driver site first looking for drivers and it gave me this

Try this link, there were many references for the Windows 7 drivers.

Don't download one of those scanning programs from any site, try to find a direct link.

I could not locate and driver named IGP 345M.
They do have 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7 drivers for some cards.
I'd suggest you do a search here at the official web site:
Link Removed
I finally found a chipset update but Tu was for a 340M, not the 350M that you're looking for. and it was for Windows 2000
Could you supply more info on your motherboard.
You can copy and paste from the SIW program into Notepad and save that information, then select all and copy in your next post.
