Every time Microsoft upgrades the operating system, it brings new compatibility issues.

Of course, this can not blame Microsoft, technology is always progressing, hardware level and software design level are developing, can not be fixed step in the old rules.

It is as if many commentators have suggested that users do not upgrade to Vista, and that upgrading to Windows Seven is very, very stupid. Critics will then find that Windows Seven also creates new compatibility issues and stronger hardware requirements.

Nonsense do not say, into the theme, this is the Netizen Ming encountered problems and solutions,

The next-generation Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 system is not very compatible with older graphics cards (such as ATI Radeon 9250), sound cards (Sound Max 188X), and has no direct driver support. In this way the video card will not be able to open 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 video card, first find the driver installer such as Setup.exe, right-"properties-" compatibility-"Run this program in compatibility mode, select this driver compatible system in the dropdown list such as Windows XP (Service Pack 2), OK, To install again.

This can be installed successfully, such as the video card can successfully open OpenGL effect ...

The above method is used for the complete installation of the original driver, sometimes this installation, in the Device Manager can still see the yellow exclamation mark, such as my Radeon 9250 secondary is like this, the solution is: Right button in the device-"Update driver software-" Browse to locate the driver software, navigate to the directory in which the driver resides (including subfolders), and next until it completes.

More than just drivers, many games or applications with compatibility problems can be solved. However, you need to be reminded that under 64-bit Vista or Windows 2008 operating systems, try not to use the driver under the 32-bit operating system, causing the system to crash or even.
