Problems with graphic card

Yesterday I had to make a clean install of a new OS on my laptop so I did but I have problems with the graphic card driver. I have installed windows 7 and there are some incompatibilities with the current driver that windows 7 has installed. There are no problems now, except the aero theme isn't working, so the GC is working but it says from time to time there are issues with the driver. I fear that it will make a lot of problems when I install max/photoshop. I bought him in January 2008.

If anyone can help me, please do so, because I am tiring to fix him before summer vacation so I would have something to do on vacation. And here are general information about him:

Sony VAIO (VGN-FZ31S) 2.8Kg magnesium case
CPU: Intel Core 2 duo (T8100) @ 2.10Ghz
MEMORY: 2GB ddr2 SDRAM
GC: nVidia GF 8600M GS
HDD: 250GB
SCRN: 15.4" (1280x800)
OPTIC: BD/DVD/CD re-writer

Thanks.
Sheers

A minor correction. This message pops up every time I start windows:

Take a look at my name and my avatar and you'll know that the Radeon HD 4870 is my specialty. I can tell you right off the bat what the problem is. You're running (probably a cheap and crappu) 450W power supply when ATi gives 500W as the minimum you should be using.
