    Hello sir,

    I am having D845GVSR chipset motherboard. I had installed Windows Vista 32 bit. But i am unable to get graphics and audio drivers for that. So i am unable to change screen resolution.
    Where can i get audio and video drivers for windows vista for my motherboard?

    your mobo is not yet "officially" compatable / supported on Vista yet, maybe you could use XP for a couple of months, at least until Vista gets it's "official" stamp

    Edit: drop the "sir" crap, we're here to help, not to be patronised

    You could try to install the XP drivers. Because Vista uses almost the same driver system as Windows 2000 and XP, so a large amount of drivers for XP should work on Vista (but certainly not all).

    Learnt that when I was jumping from Win98 to XP. No drivers available for XP, so I used the 2000 drivers. Driver files for NT, 2000, XP, Vista and 7 begin with the text $windowsNT$, while the 9x drivers all begin with $chicago$ :)
