Probably not going to work. You could try XP or Vista drivers, but I doubt you'll have any luck.

Best thing is to stick with XP or get a newer comp. I spent weeks trying to find drivers for a wireless card much newer than i845 and gave up.

Although, I did get a Radeon 7500 video card to work with as much searching and trial and error.

Google is your friend!

try this go into control pannel then device manager and click on display adapters there it will tell you what graphics is installed, right click on it and there you can let the computer install the drivers by searching for them online.

Ok, after some more digging around I found this

Might as well give it a go, it seems to have worked for other people.
