With 1Gb and Vista forget trying to run a VM with any virtualisation product. You don't have enough RAM. Sorry.

Thank you TerryE that what I thought but why does the ATI redeon have a problem is it because it shares the system ram

I don't know. If you start to run out of memory then all sorts of things can start to fail in funny ways -- a video device driver can fail just like any other S/W component.
