Vista - ATI FireMV 2400 PCI Code 43

I ran the Vista Advisor before upgrading from XP and it came back without and
compatibilities with my video hardware, but after upgrading my FireMV card no
longer works and reports Code 43. I also have a ATI X800XL AIW card in the
same machine on the PCIe and together run six monitors. After trying to force
install drivers device manager reports the FireMV 2400 as an ATI Radeon 9000
card and eventually kicks out my X800 driver. Without the X800 driver
installed I can get the FireMV working on the ATI 9600 Mobility driver which
Windows installs but won't let the X800 driver exist at the same time.

After butting heads with ATI the word came back they would not be making
drivers for Vista for the PCI version of this card.

What are my options? Is there anyway to force Vista to take the XP drivers
and run them in XP mode? Going back to XP is not an option.

Thanks

No you cannot force a driver. Either it works or doesn't. If there the XP
driver won't install and ATI isn't providing a Vista driver then you need to
get different hardware or go back to XP.
