intel 810e driver

I'm getting a blue screen as soon as I switch to the Intel 810E driver. Any plans for a driver for this (it's in a Gateway E1600XL, 512MB, 1Ghz PII processor). This is our low end at my University, and I'm trying to test Vista against it. I don't expect Aero, but basic functions. Apparantly there is no driver, and the "compatable" Intel near 810E known as 82810E is the one that blue screens.
Informationally, it took over 4 hours to install an upgrade to XP from DVD. Haven't gotten much further, as I'm trying to shake out the video issue. Basically I am testing it against our lowest end machines, and all of our applications, in preparation for a roll out early next year.

Vista should have the i810 built into the OS. If it's not, and Windows Update doesn't find it, you may have to wait until Intel comes out with a driver for Vista. It may not happen, as the i810 is an older chipset.

I'm very surprised that any organization as big as a university would consider switching to a new OS as soon as it's introduced. Why did you decide to do that before finding out about all the problems that will have to be corrected in Vista SP1?

I deleted the video adapter from device manager and rebooted. Windows recognized the card (810E driver); however, every time I tried going from 640x480 to 1024x768 I was getting the blue screen (BAD_POOL_...). I set hardware acceleration = NONE for the video card and now I'm able to run 1024x768 (high color).
