Drivers Problem i am having intel D845GVSR MotherBoard,767 MB DDR Ram and Ihave Installed Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit,,my all drivers Are working Properly Except The Graphics Driver(i am Not Getting The Windows Aero look i.e,Glass look),Plz Help Me For My Problem.Thanks......

you are confused about old mobo and old Intel H55 chipsets
this PC has a iGPU chip aka. onboard GPU.integrated.
and is VGA port on MOBO
and this intel chip lacks any VRAM at all, and intel data sheet told you that it
steals (yes that word) DDR RAM to form and create, VRAM
so DDR RAM is 1.8GB (clear as day told you that , RTM)

there are 2 cures, more DDR ram
of use GPU card with say 1GB of VRam on the GPU card.

ram most be installed in matched sets. you failed that.
same sku # intel said and you ignored them the MMC maker.
DDR ram is not like light bulbs there are ton rules
max ram rule1. cpu sets the rule .
max per slot. there is only 2 slots.
min per slot
density rules not violated or rank and chip per side.
and matched sets.
or buy certified DDR in matched sets and end all this pain
DDR3 1666 (O.C.)/1333/1066/800 MHz
1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 8 GB of system memory
Bios must like the DDR3 too or fail you will
windows 32 bit limits to 4GB minus Vram theft or 3.2GB (approx
the answer is buying the wrong RAM
but not one word what ram you really bought.

2+2=4GB or ram and must be matched, same SKU , intel say matched sku or can fail easy.
the made the mmc, so ignoring them is not wise.
the BIOS must like it too, newer ram super high density can fail.

Hello,

Each memory slot can hold DDR PC2700 or DDR PC3200 Non-ECC, Non-buffered RAM with a maximum of 1GB per slot.

You can refer to this site for more info on your RAM and motherboard.

Windows 7 requirement If you want to run Windows 7 on your PC, here's what it takes:

• 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
• 16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
• DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

Here is you laptop spec

Sorry as far as I know and experienced all 32 bit XP and Vista will only recognize up to 3,4 GB of ram and no more. whether its dual channel or not.
You will have to go to a 64 bit O/S to use it.
Even then there are limits some 64 bit O/S will only use 4 GB others more

unfortunetly your motherboard supports only 200, 266, and 333 MHZ

The motherboard you mentioned supports DDR1 RAM.

For windows xp and general application 512 MB is enough.
But if you use memory intensive applications like image/video editing then you can opt for 1-2 GB RAM.

change to Windows XP,
windows vista will not support with *********** board
it will support more then 865 chipset

Fix for older motherboards like Intel 845GVSR etc.,
HERE IS THE SOLUTION FOR FIXING DISPLAY PROBLEMS....
(This solution works for any Intel Motherboard)
No need to donwload or install any drivers.
Vista has everything built in.
Only thing is it needs atleast 128 Mb of Video Memory, but for older motherboards like Inter 845 by default the Video Memory is configured to 64 Mb which is resulting in your problem.
So what you have to do is...
SOLUTION:
Restart your computer > Press DEL Key
and
Go to BIOS Settings > Advanced > Video Configuration
1. Change "AGP Aperture Size" from 64 Mb to "128 Mb or Higher"
2. Leave "Primary Video Adapter" as "Integrated"
3. Change "Frame Buffer Size" from 1 Mb to "8 Mb"
and then press F10(i.e., Save changes and continue).
Sometimes, for the first time you may see screen not aligned properly, in that case just restart once more and Vista will automatically adjust the alignment for you.
Also, you can change the resolution to your desired one manually as follows...
1. Click "Start Button"
2. Right click on "Computer"
3. Select "Properties" option from the context menu.
4. Scroll down and find "Disply Settings" option and click it.
5. Adjust Resolution Size and Mode.
NOW, ENJOY USING VISTA.....

i don't know weathere you are awared of this or not...

to get the 32 bit graphic on 82845gv motherboard go to BIOS setting and change your video frame buffer size to 8 mb and agp aeperture to 256 mb and let the system boot... you will get 32 bit graphic with 1024 x 748 screen resolution... i have changed and believe me it is working

but only problem is that you will hardly play any game or use bubble screen saver..

What error comes up?
