You probably need the chipset drivers for the motherboard.
Go to the website of the mfg and see if they have Vista drivers for it.

Note: There should have been no need to re-install Vista just because you
changed the video card...
all you would have to have done was to install the video drivers.
Also...you do not have to install XP first. You can go directly to your
Vista installation
and use your XP disk as a qulaifying product

You need to go to the website of the manufacturer of the motherboard
and get the drivers there.
hopefully they will have the Vista drivers

Note: I have gotten XP drivers to work OK in Vista
but there is no guarantee they will always work

Go to Acers website.

"Also...you do not have to install XP first. You can go directly to your

I don't think that this is correct. It's not like when you could by an XP
upgrade disk and insert a qualifying Win98 when the XP setup asked for it.
XP must already be installed before beginning the Vista upgrade.

Though there is a workaround for this.

If I understand correctly, the problems did not start until you replaced the
video card...
Do you have another one you could try?

Also...re-check your bios setting...
sometimes replacing H/W can cause some setting to be changed.
See if your CPU speed is correct etc

You need to adjust your time and zone settings. You are posting from the future

You might also want to update your BIOS. After I did, my performance issues
cleared up right away.
