Missing I386 Folder

[paulovey]

Hi,

I have installed the eval copy of Vista (Build 5112), and have
installed the network card drivers and the video drivers.

Im now trying to activate the 3D Desktop, looking in other forums you
have to run SBCTL.EXE in the c:\windows\i386 folder.

But my install of Vista does not have this folder, and a search of the
whole Hard Disk doesnt find any file SBCTL.EXE.

The card can handle 3D graphics, although it only has 32 mb of on board
memory.

The PC may struggle its a Pentium Celeron 1Ghz with 384Mb of Ram. I am
asking to much of the hardware?

Anyone have any idea...

Thanks,

Paul
