Should be a SiS900 based card.
See here, there are reports of cases where the XP one did work:

It seems like an updated Windows 7 driver exists in Windows Update....

If you go to the Windows Update Catalog at http://go.microsoft....nk/?LinkId=8973 (requires IE) and search for SiS 900 you will get a list which includes version 2.0.1039.1210 for Windows 7. It actually appears 4 times in the list due to different languages and x86/x64 versions, but the descriptions are the same. Just add them all to your download basket. They are small, so you can download all 4 in a minute. After they are downloaded, look at the filenames and you will be able to find the one you need. Each driver will be in a cab file which you can easily extract using any archiver (or just plain Windows Explorer).



Of course your mileage may vary.

From what I read, it seems like ONCE you have the XP drivers installed THEN Windows Update can get the 7 one "automatically". :unsure:

In any case, it doesn't cost you anything to try updating now, and see what happens. ;)
