By the way, SIS has not updated their drivers for XP since 2004 for that
model integrated graphic product. They do not show drivers for Vista in any
flavor.

Stop going to "PC PitStop".

Only get drivers for your hardware if there is some decent reason to. Just
because there exists a newer version does not mean you need it. If you are
not having issues or upgrading to a newer OS or a major service pack update
in soe cases - there is seldom any definite need to upgrade a device driver
of any sort.

Given what you have/where you have chosen to post - you probably don't even
need to upgrade your video device driver.
