that GPU hasnt been supported by ATi for years..... its pretty dead.... you may want to get the Windows XP drivers and have windows 7 try to look for usable drivers in the folder but its not looking good.....

sorry man, that system was just not meant to run windows 7, even vista is a longshot...

I have been running Windows 7 without issue on a T42 for nearly 12 months now, and I have the same driver issue for the video card. I have read of a person successfully installing a ATi driver on T42 vista with result being extended desktop and Aero.

I really would only like to have extended desktop like I had with this PC on XP.

I am still believing it is possible, anyone have any further suggestions to install a driver solution?

I actually found the solution i have been looking for for quite a while on another board. This driver gives extended desktop and higher resolution capability for T42, probaly will work also on t41 with Windows 7.

Download this modded driver...
Free File Hosting Made Simple - MediaFire

Extract the driver file to a C drive location
Then open Device Manger
Right click on your Display Driver choose Update Display Driver
Choose Browse My Computer for Driver Software
Via the Browse button, locate the extract driver folder and selct
Windows 7 will automatically find and install the driver

After installation go to Screen Resolution and you will see that it has been updated
Reboot manually to complete installation; after which you will be able to extend desktop and watch MKV video files etc.....

Enjoy!!
