wddm lddm drivers not working

I have a Radeon 9600 Series AGP video card. Off from a fresh install off the DVD Vista loads up MS WDDM drivers. When i go into hardware profile it tells me that the device could not start and gives me a Code 37 error. When i load ATI's drivers LDDM for Vista, i get a Code 43 saying that the drivers could not start. If i load up Win XP drivers the card works fine but that dosent make sense. I currently have it on a dual boot system with each operation system (Vista and XP) on their own physical drives. I have a Intel P4 2.4 GHz w/ a !G DDR ram. My R9600 has 128MB Video Memory. I have enough space on my hard drive as it is a WD 160G 7200RPM drive. Any suggestions to getting either the WDDM or LDDM drivers to work? I could use the XP drivers but then i wont get the AERO theme which needs the WDDM or LDDM drivers. Thanks in advance.

Feedback:
* Driver and Software Survey: This is your opportunity to provide us with feedback that will help improve the driver and software sections of our support site.
ATI is one of the first graphic providers to make a 64-bit driver that supports the Longhorn Display Driver Model (LDDM) – the Microsoft Vista revolutionary graphic driver standard – as well as the first to provide LDDM drivers for integrated graphics processors. By making LDDM drivers available more than a full year prior to Windows Vista release, ATI provides developers with a stable, feature-enabled and performance-optimized platform for application development. ATI is also the first to provide Catalyst® Windows Vista driver feedback via our Catalyst® Crew Feedback program.
