    Official support for Haswell graphics on Windows Vista is very limited. Your best bet is to upgrade to Windows 7 or newer for reliable GPU support. If upgrading isn't possible, you might try installing Windows 7 drivers, but stability isn't guaranteed.

    The Haswell card itself doesn't support Vista, and its drivers only go to Win7, so you can try changing the Win7 drivers to use it or virtualize it.
