On the above laptop, the compatability tool calls out my RadeonM 7500 as not having a driver.
I have searched hi and lo, and not found anything that is both Vista and that vid card.
Anyone have any ideas on this, or do I just need to leave it at XP?

I would just leave XP on it. Overall performance would be horrible on a laptop of that age.
 
XP + Vista transformation pack = Win for you. Unless you actually want Vista and not just the purdy effects.
 
I like Vista, but why would you want to install it on such an old laptop?

The threads I looked up are just a bunch of problems when trying to get the Mobility Radeon 7500 to work in Vista using various drivers. I didn't see any success stories. It does look like you can use the generic VGA driver to run at 1024x768, but that's not accelerated at all.
 
Okay, you guys are all telling me what I figured. Thanks for the input-XP it stays.
