via chrome 9 hc igp on notebook

[maboblivion]

Hello forum members!

I'm trying to install windows 8 on my father's hp 2133 netbook to see if it would speed it up since w8 takes less resources and all and i've bump into abit of a problem.
Default video driver from microsoft limits screen to 800x640.. on a 11" ... yeah that makes
it barely useable!

Looking on hp site it says that when screen is locked at that resolution to install the s3 chrome 9 hc driver from the cd that came with it(i don't have it.)
Found the driver on via , anyways .... installs...reboots...hardware problems blah blah shows the vid card name instead of default video driver and back at square one.

its a via c7-m ultra mobile chipset 1.6ghz single core 2gigs of ram.
Can't find the southbridge info.

I've tried setting the compatibility mode to w7-vista and xp and downloading older drivers but same result.

Am i missing something ? Anyone manage to get windows 8 running on one of these netbooks ? I'd appreciate the input

when i successfully install the driver and reboot , it list the via chrome 9 hc igp in device manager.
But there's a !triangle with windows stopped this device because it has reported problems.

Would there be a log to show me the reported problems?
