i successfully installed vista onto a HP thin client, as seen above, which featured integrated graphics chipset located within the CPU

i tried installing Radeon graphics driver on Vista, but the windows 7 installer doesn't work on vista

vista's device manager also does not see my folder containing the graphics driver

i'm so close to getting AERO theme as well as games running. please assist. thanks in advance.

Should work with 15.6 AMD Catalyst drivers https://forum.legacydev.org/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=199

I tried to install the drivers since last month but unfortunately it doesnt work. My vista is running in 32bit, but apparently the drivers require 64bit.

 

Sadly 64bit vista requires 11gb HDD and my thin client's 7gb SSD does not have enough space, unfortunately.

 

Thank though for helping me with this, i much appreciate all the help, thank you again

32-bit version

This says 14.12, but also works for 15.6

You should have been able to install drivers with just the .inf file mod (replacing 6.1 section's name with 6.0), this patch solves just powerprof.dll error.

You got to slim down the installation first, probably use Vista without service pack, It's doable! Turn the page file OFF.
