Win7 with intel GMA 4500

[KeypoX]

More specifically with a dell studio 1537, gma 4500

Here is a nice picture of the problem im having via windows 7. http://getsatisfaction.com/del...hd_graphics_corruption

It seems that vista does not have this problem, for me. Vista is running and old driver 7.15.10.1576. Vs Windows 7's newer driver. And windows 7 will not install the vista driver. Says incompatible os.


Anyone have any luck with win7 on a gma 4500? Make sure you try purple palace before saying yes. Because i have been running this thing for about a month and have not seen this problem until today.



btw win7 im running a newer driver 8.15.10.1620 driver date 12/17/2008, and having the issues

As far as not being able to install the Vista drive, did you try putting it in Compatibility mode?

The driver installer? I didnt even check to see if it had one, i think it may, but i tried installing the driver through device manger.

Good idea brb

sweet that is indeed the magic driver. Setting as vista and using the installer worked! Thanks!
