Win2008, Vista driver compatibility problem resolution

Every time Microsoft upgrades the Windows operating system, it will bring new compatibility issues.

Of course, this can't blame Microsoft, technology is always improving, hardware level and software design level are developing, can not be stuck in the old rules.

It seems that many critics suggest that users do not upgrade to Vista, upgrade to Windows Seven, very stupid. Critics will later discover that Windows Seven also creates new compatibility issues and stronger hardware requirements.

Don't talk nonsense, enter the theme, this is the problem and solution of the netizen MING, Vista home specially arranged instructions:

A new generation of Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 system The compatibility of old graphics cards (such as ati radeon 9250) and sound cards (Sound Max 188X) is not very good, and there is no direct driver support. In this case, the graphics card cannot open the OpenGL effect.

In this case, how to solve it?

In fact, this is the same solution as in the Windows XP era.

The solution is to install the original driver of the graphics card, first find the driver installation program such as setup.exe, right-click -> Properties -> Compatibility -> Run this program in compatibility mode, select this in the drop-down list Drive compatible systems such as Windows XP (Service Pack 2), OK, and then install.

This will install successfully, such as the graphics card can successfully open the OpenGL effect. . .

The above method is used to install the original driver completely. Sometimes, after installation, you can still see the yellow exclamation mark in the device manager. For example, even the radeon 9250 secondary is solved. The solution is: right click on the device - "Update Driver Software -" browse to find the driver software, locate the directory where the driver is located (including subfolders), and next step until it is completed.

Not only drivers, but many games or applications with compatibility issues can be solved. However, it should be reminded that under the 64-bit Vista or Windows 2008 operating system, try not to use the driver under the 32-bit operating system, which will cause the system to crash or even.
