BleepingComputer.com: Vista and intel 82845 g/gl/ge/pe/ gv

Hi everyone. I read the forums often but have never had the need to post. All questions are usually found. ( until now)
I upgraded vista on my pc but i noticed that when i make logos, my circles are now oval.
Graphic card issues! It will not update and i can not get the resolution of 1280 x 768 anymore.
I tried installing the intel 82845 g/gl/ge/pe/ gvdriver but it is not supported.
What do i do now? Is there anything that will work? This has been giving me fits!

I got it! I will post my results in case any one else has this issue.

I downloaded the Intel 82845 g/gl... driver exe. saved it to my desk top.
After trying to install, it would not run because it was not suported on vista.

I looked around my files and saw a NT folder. I copied and pasted the exe file in there. ( Program files/NT )
Then i right clicked on that exe file.

Chose 'properties' and checked the box that said.. Run This Program In Compatibility Mode For:
( there was a list of OS. I chose (Windows Service Pack2) Hit apply and Ok.

Then run that exe file in that folder. It loaded to the computer and said INSTALATION COMPLETE!
reboot..

BINGO! All resolutions for my old graphics driver on Vista are now available!

I hope this may help others. I know i was getting pretty frustrated to the point of
a boot to the computer
