Go to driverguide.com. They have almost all drivers for anything that you would need. If you can't find them there then you'll probably just have to wait until they come out.

The manufacturer of the PC you have might not have updated drivers for Vista EG; HP, Dell, eMachines but the actual vendor that makes the GPU (Intel, VIA, SIS, Nvida, ATI-AMD) might have updated video driver for Vista on that respective site.

You can try http://www.ehow.com/how_5019442_install-xp-drivers-vista.html

Anyway, not all drivers are fully compatible even in XP compatible mode and some fail to install.
