xual Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I bought an aspire 5610 laptop. I have osx loaded on it but its not stable nor fully sorted with drivers. So I have to roll back to XP.. I have no winxp CD with the acer BUT I have one with my pc.. But when I go to install XP it says after a while that It doesn't support my graphics card and stops th installation the motherboard is an intel 945GM with integrated shared graphics.. Is there a version of windows XP that supports this? The version of XP Pro I have is a universty edition that requires no activation it has no service packs included.

Tinface Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 that Uni XP must be customized for PC's that are used by that place. Try using a different CD, because the universal video/sound drivers might have been messed up when they were burned...The intel 945 chipset is the {censored}tiest and most widely distributed video setup ever. So the problem is probably the install CD...

OMX-Knuckles Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 It won't work because (allegedly) Windows XP doesn't support PCI Express till Service Pack 1 at least. XP with no service packs is a good 4 years older than the 945 chipset. My Everex laptop has the 945GM chipset and won't take my Corporate CD with no service packs.
