Hi,

The onboard video likely does not support DX9, and may not be supported at
all in Vista. Fortunately for you, this particular board also has an AGP
slot so you can at least add a Vista-compatible video card. If you do, you
will likely need to disable the on-board video in the system BIOS or by
means of a jumper on the motherboard.

Does your suggestion still hold in the light of the above.

To support DX9 under Vista requires a different driver set than in XP, and
this is where it falls down.
