Windows Vista machine that broke down

Please see previous blogs on my netbook comments. Had another customer come in with a Windows Vista machine that broke down. Fortunately, the computer was backed up and all the files were intact. Last customer came in with a unique issue with a program called Fink. Will have to do a bit of research for that one.

If there are no ATI Radeon 3450 in the list then you can try with ATI Radeon3200. And if still cannot find the driver download the original driver : VGA Driver Mirror 1 or VGA Driver Mirror 2.
Repeat the force method.
