That is the very same graphics card that's in my Dell notebook. I've tried & tried, no way Aero works on it. If the notebook came with the 64MB ATI card (as some did), yes, it would work, however not as good as today's notebooks. Vista was ran on this very same notebook.

I could have bought a refurbished MOBO with the ATI video card built in that would support Aero for $430 from Dell, but that was more than I paid for the notebook. Just another screwjob attempt by Dell.

The only suggestion that I can make is unless you have that ATI card, disable the Aero. Otherwise, your notebook will try to force an app to run, which won't, so the whole page looks blurry. By turning off the Aero, you'll at least have a readable page.

Hi kengarrett - Welcome to w7forums

Looking at the Device 1002:4c57 it appears you have a Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500] device.
1014 0517 ThinkPad T30
1014 0530 ThinkPad T42 2373-4WU
1028 00e6 Radeon Mobility M7 LW (Dell Inspiron 8100)
1028 012a Latitude C640
1043 1622 Mobility Radeon M7 (L3C/S)
144d c006 Radeon Mobility M7 LW in vpr Matrix 170B4
Looking up details for the Latitude C640 and ThinkPad T30, I see there are no drivers for Windows Vista or Windows 7.

The "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" is a generic graphics driver installed when the drivers needed are not located or even exist. I regret having to mention you will not be able to use all of Windows 7 features with those graphics. If anyone knows better than I do its catilley above, I think its the "Latitude C640" he own's.
