Default Can I use omega drivers for xp in vista?

I don't really know where to post this, but my reason for asking is because
frankly, my graphics card stinks. It's an integrated ATI IGP 320M, and
vista's drivers for it aren't horrible, they're just not what I'm looking
for. So, can I use the omega drivers for this card (which work in xp, i've
tested them) on Vista 32bit? That'd be fantastic!

Install them! See how they work!

It's reversible.

Nope, it didn't work. For some reason, even in 32bit, I can't install the
unsigned driver. Vista says it cannot find the file specified. By the way,
the installer doesn't install them, so you have to manually install the
driver, which doesn't work either. Is this vista's stupid driver protection,
or can it really not find the file?

Quit trying to beat the system by installing the wrong drivers.

Live with your onboard video or buy a new video card.
