Hello, I drove crazy looking for this driver, but I still can't find it, hope you help me. It's an integrated video card, my motherboard is Asus P5VD2-MX and I need vista x64 or 7 x64 video drivers

You are unlikely to find one .

I had a board with the same onboard gfx . When the gfx card died I went back to onboard. There had been no updated drivers in the 3 previous years even for XP 32 bit .

You could try installing the XP driver . Its rubbish though . Colors are muted and off tones , and the drivers didnt support widescreen resolutions even .

I'd buy a very cheap gfx card .

so no way? About the resolution, I flashed my motherboard to get 1440x900. Everything was fine with xp x64, but I need this drivers for windows 7 x64. As you say there are not drivers even for vista x86... Isn't there a way of "modding" the xp drivers to get it working with vista 64/seven 64?

^There probably is a way, but tbh get a cheap 8400GS/3450 card.

Go to VIA's website and see if you find anything. If someone got fustrated enough they may have slapped together a driver, like good ol Daniel K for the creative cards, but if it's not a whql certified driver it's a pain to get Vista x64 to load it. Really though it's probably easier to buy a cheap card from CompUSA or something ^_^.

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. I'm gonna check VIA's website. I would really like to buy even a cheap card, but I'm still suffering the Argentinian Economic Collapse... Wish I were able to buy in USA

Hey Man... I had an old PC that I use for testing and yesterday I installed Windows 7 on my old CeleronD 2.26 Ghz which has a Biostar mainborad (P4VMA-M) with an integrated VIA/S3G Unichrome IGP. As you may know, Windows 7 and Windows Vista are almost the same stuff, so I went looking for Vista drivers (which I could not find) and found myself in the same situation that you are now. Since the PC is for testing, I say what the hell and downloaded the XP drivers from biostar website; then I uncompressed them to a folder and pointed windows 7 to look in there. For my surprise, Windows XP driver worked fine on Win7 32 bit edition.

I don´t know what will happen with 64bits, but at least, if you have al your information backed out, then you could try this and see if it solves your problem.

Hope this helps!

Great piece of detective work!!! It also works on all Shuttle G models with the UniChrome Pro IGP with W7 Ultimate 32b.

Doesn't seem to be able to do the satisfaction test, but I don't need Windows to tell me how satisfied I am with their products. Really, they don't want to know for the most part.
