    are you trying to run setup?
    if so, just extract the files (using winrar/winzip or the built-in XP tool) to a folder
    Go to device manager, find the VGA controller, and update the driver manually.
    Alternatively, i believe if you run windows update, it should also put a driver in there for you, it's basic but it will work.

    You didn't clearly answer my questions. In any case, have you tried manually using the "update driver" option?

    sorry i am panicking to reply qudickyt

    yes i xp pro is fully installed ,
    i try to run that vga intel setup and it says i dont meet minimum requirement
    i also tried extracting the files and doing manual update to let windows find the driver but it didnt find any

    i cannot try using win update yet as i want to put firewall on it first , before i go on internet

    just use the windows one for now. That's weird, did you run the chipset driver yet? I also have a A150L and I use those drivers without an issue.

    yes i ran intel chipset driver but it wont even use windows normal driver, its install all devices ok apart from this vga and vga controller

    could it be a faulty vga controller ? but it recognises it as a vga contrller but just with a yellow question mark

    the ide chipset says 82801 in deviemnager

    SPEC FROM PDF from diownload section on forum
    core Logic Chipset 
    Mobile Intel® 945GSE Express Chipset
    Mobile Intel® 82801GBM Chipset

    Video Subsystem
     Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950

    but the read me on that driver file is
    1. The system must contain one of the following Intel
    Chipsets:

    Intel(R) 945G Express Chipset
    Intel(R) 945GZ Express Chipset
    Intel(R) 946GZ Express Chipset
    Intel(R) G31 Express Chipset
    Intel(R) G33 Express Chipset
    Intel(R) G35 Express Chipset
    Intel(R) G965 Express Chipset
    Intel(R) Q33 Express Chipset
    Intel(R) Q35 Express Chipset
    Intel(R) Q963 Express Chipset
    Intel(R) Q965 Express Chipset
    Mobile Intel(R) 940GML Express Chipset
    Mobile Intel(R) 945GM Express Chipset
    Mobile Intel(R) 945GME Express Chipset
    Mobile Intel(R) 945GMS Express Chipset
    Mobile Intel(R) GL960 Express Chipset
    Mobile Intel(R) GLE960 Express Chipset
    Mobile Intel(R) GM965 Express Chipset
    Mobile Intel(R) GME965 Express Chipset

    so it dont match , i am hoping this is the reason why and not a faulty vga controller

    The Intel VGA drivers downloaded from the Acer Europe Support site work fine for me. I ran setup.exe.

    I notice that you have 512MB RAM. Make sure that you have as few applications running as possible when installing the drivers. I suspect that your "doesn't meet requirements" error may be a low memory problem.

    Also, try installing the driver in safe mode.
