Need some xp drivers for my video card

[bravo14]

I have vista tower and took it the software off and put xp on it and I can get some stuff working can't get the drivers for my video card built in the board. I can't use my video card cause the board doesn't have the avg slot. I went to different sites and they want 30 bucks or so to download. the computer is acer am 1202.

What manufacturer made the computer? If it is like dell or HP you should be able to find out info about the built in video and find a driver either from the computer Co or the video Manufacturer. Just look on the net using the computer model #.

In Vista, go to the device manager and see what make and model the card is. have you tried to find the driver on Acer's site?

any reason you're trying to downgrade?

I think you mean AGP.


EDIT:

Link to Acer's driver site for that model PC. You will need to select Desktop, Aspire and then M1202

Bad news for you, they only have a Vista video driver.

I downloaded the driver and it appears like the card might be a GeFRorce 7 series card. If it is a 7 series Nvidia cards, below are the drivers.

I've had luck only being able to use the manufacture's drivers and also luck using both, so it may or may not work. Unless there is a specific piece of software you NEED to use Windows XP for, I would recommended sticking to Vista.

I went to the acer site last week and only vista drivers only seems can not downgrade at all. I have xp sp3 on here and sp3 found a few drivers for most of it. I had to put my sound card in which is no big deal. I also had to put nero my version that came with my DL burner I bought 2 years ago. I will try to down load the video drive from above from nvidia site. Thanks for you all help. I went to the site download it and I have tried a few before doesn't load keeps giving me a error.

I found the driver and it works now. I went back to vista hard drive and found the name etc.. went back on my other hard drive xp side and download it.

download from Guru3D.com

There are alternative Creative drivers that are much better too. I'm using them now.
