Go here: http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scri...ProductID=1065

Choose windows xp 64 or 32 bit depending on your install (as you didnt state it above). Download the latest drivers. Manually install them through device manager.

If you need anymore help then just post back

In your bios increase the RAM which is being shared with the GPU... if that doesnt help then you are simply going to be without those features - the GPU is not very good as I am sure you know

Ya i know the gpu is not good. ..
but i heard we could enable aero using some registry modifications..
i am not sure what keys to modify for RTM and retail releases..
i found some steps while googling to change the registry to enable Aero Theme for unsupported graphic accelerators,I'll try them and come back to report about the experiment.

once again Crabby for the help

The registry edits no longer work After RTM they were disabled... the last build that allowed them was 5744 i think. But you can always try
