Im afraid that the rtm is illegal for use, and we cant help you if you continue to use that version.

how do i get Vista drivers and how do i no which video card i have and i looked at the transparency thing and theres no such function in my thing

In Windows XP:
Right click on your desktop and select Properties from the contextual menu. This will open the Display Properties window.

Click on the Settings tab at the top of the Display Properties window and then click on the Advanced button. This will open a new window. Click on the Adapter tab to display information on the video card you have installed in your computer.

Before you shout at them some proper research can help, they also have NO requirement to provide vista drivers, they will and do but they dont have to and they wont release final non beta drivers befroe the release date of the operating system in question.

If they make 945 theyll make beta for yours you just have to find the beta site for that chipset.

Intel reps, have said they have beta drivers released for testing, some have said they are working on them and they have not been released, others say they have no intention because its not powerful enough to run it, there is also some train of thought that microsoft should have made drivers for it.

Seems nobody knows not even intel, there will no doubt be something in time for the release in January but until then youre going to have to live with basic vista by the looks of it.

No if your hardware isn't up to it then you cant, i think the biggest reason for there being so much confusion is that they are not at all sure that it would run very well on those systems, the GMA950 which there is drivers was pretty much designed largely to make sure vista could run, the older ones it was iffy.
