Would like help with video drivers

[mkaz666]

I recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit os on an Acer Veriton 7600GT. I'm having a bit of trouble finding a suitable video driver.

Specs include:
Intel Pentium 4 2.80GHz
1.5GB RAM
Onboard Realtek AC'97 Audio
Onboard Intel® 865G Extreme Graphics 2

Can anyone help?

That chipset is not supported by Intel for Windows 7,

so if Acer doesn't have one you are left with the W7 default one.

Actually windows 7 works just fine I just keep getting a message when I open solitaire that reads:
"Hardware acceleration is either disabled or not supported by your video card driver, which could cause slow game performance. Make sure you have the latest video card drivers installed and that hardware acceleration is turned on"

I've also found graphics drivers for a similar pc from HP that supports windows 7. The D530 desktop from HP has very similar specifications to the Acer Veriton 7600GT. And an identical onboard graphics card.
