No.
If Windows Vista determines your video card can not run the Aero interface, there is nothing you can do except to upgrade your video card. Seriously.

Only way is via a 3rd party program I believe.
Main reason for it not working now is DirectX 1 is final in Vista and does not support Direct X 9 or lower.
Therefore a DirectX 10 card is needed for it to fully work.

Good luck w/ Vista. I heard it sucks. You should never buy an OS until it has been on the market for a while and they have time to fix the kinks in the system.
