Hello everyone,

I know windows does not support ATI radeon 9200 SE drivers anymore and this question is not for that.

My question is this, is there no way to make the ATI radeon 9200 SE work with the Win7 x64?

Without the driver the Direct3D, DirectDraw and AGP cannot work. Without those nothing that's 3D can work.

I even tried to use the Windows Virtual PC too try to "emulate" Windows XP x32/x64 on the Win 7 x64 and install the drivers.

I tried very many options and they all failed. I know the video card is antique but if I could afford a new one I wouldn't bother with this anymore.

So please if you can help it would be awesome. 

What I want is to run simple 3D games that require Directx 9 and Direct3D enabled and I can't.

    The card is not supported under win7 64bit

    Depending on your location a PC repair shop may have cheap old cards that are supported (and have the correct interface/slot)
