There doesn't seem to be a bios update but in the following link it states that the only on board graphic chip supported by win xp is the 810. http://h20015.www2.hp.com/en/document.jhtml?reg=&cc=us&lc=en&prodId=hppavilion19359&docName=bph05529&cat=faq

You need to install a PCI graphics card. You can probably get a 64mb card for about $50. I have the same onboard video on my Pavilion 7840 and I upgraded to a Geforce MX440 AGP for the same reason. You might have to change the settings in your bios to a PCI card when you install the card. Also, it would be advisable to uninstall or disable the onboard from Windows before installing a new card. Your onboard video card (11mb) can only handle games that require up to 16mb video. After that, they won't work. I hope that helps OVV
