Issue with Video Card

See if the new OS will autodetect the card. The driver may have been rolled into Vista or Win7. If not then we can help you look for a comparable driver.

I found the driver on the ATI web page.
http://www2.ati.com/relnotes/catalyst_71_vista.html

I just installed the sp26629 driver.  It seems as though it's supposed to update the driver.  The issue is more that it does recognize the driver, but when I attempt to CROP a picture within Windows photo Gallery, the machine stops responding or shutdow.  Another thing is that it also turns the screen blue, like a BSOD, but no writing appears.

can you help in looking for a comparable driver?

I can't see where to download on the webpage provided

This is the 32bit Vista version:

This is the 64bit Vista version:
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Legacy/Pages/integrated_vista64.aspx?type=2.7&product=2.7.2.3.2&lang=English

Try this and see if your blue screen goes away.

Good luck!

Thanks for your effort, but it did not work.  Any other ideas?  I was wondering what are my options now?  Should I rollback to XP to get this to work?  Or would it be possible to purchase a video card and try this again after I download the latest driver for whatever video card I purchase?

did you try windows update to get the latest drivers?
also - post your specs :  cpu, ram and free disk space

What happend?  Errors? Crashes, the software won't Instal?

Which version of Vista did you install?  32 or 64 bit.
When you run the setup, right click and choose "run as administrator"

I installed 64 bit because this is what I have.  When I ran this and then tried the photo gallery once again, I received the BSOD.  

check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates.  Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.  If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, PRESS F8 to select Advanced Startup iptions, and then select Safe Mode.

  This is the error I receive from the BSOD:
