Tihiy		 Will WDDM 1.1 driver be available for 945(GM) or 965+(GM) only?

 Hi Tihiy,

I'm going to try and find out an answer for you regarding which chipsets are supported on the WDDM 1.1 driver.

 I'd like to just add to my previous comment that Intel is currently determining the supported chipsets for WDDM 1.1 drivers, as I can provide more information I'll be sure to do so.

 It seems we've finally determined the answer to the question posed by Tihiy and I want to firstly apologize to those who have read this blog post and the associated comments.

Unfortunately I am only able to provide the information I receive from others within Intel and today I was informed that the information I originally received above was several months old.

I'm pleased to say however that today the story is different and that Crestline (GM965), Broadwater E0 (G35), Cantiga / Eaglelake (G45) and Ironlake will be supported on WDDM 1.1 drivers from Intel.

Jaro2k		 is it be WDDM 1.0 driver for intel 915/945/965 ??
December 27, 2008 4:15 PM PST


Jaro2k		 i think your coustomers policy is stupid.
why don't you release wddm drivers for i915 ??
it is coustomers choice if he want Aero Glass or don't.
Keep it right and you will be lossing your coustomers.
greetings INTEL dirver group

sorry for my english but i'm not american ;)

Alexander		 I can't find a download. Where to download the driver?
January 3, 2009 3:35 AM PST


HP		 Where is the downloadd i can't find driver
January 3, 2009 4:08 AM PST


Alexander		 You do not need to download the driver. It comes with the 7000 build.
January 4, 2009 1:20 PM PST


vladislav		 Hello, I have read the whole post but there was no answer concerning whether 945 gm will support wddm 1.1 or not. The build 7000 has only wddm 1.0 drivers for 945 gm. Thanks in advance.
January 8, 2009 1:34 PM PST


Ashley Penney		 I found a problem with the driver in 7000 - my monitor has the EDID problem where the information is incorrect. You have a build of an older driver at http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?strState=LIVE&Dw nldID=17225 which fixes this problem.

Can you guys provide a build of the newer one so I can fix my windows 7 installation! :(
January 11, 2009 10:18 AM PST


bas1		 I am currently testing out the beta of Windows 7 with an intel 915 chipset, and the regular (XP) driver won't install correctly. I'm stuck with the crappy standard VGA driver from Microsoft.

Are there any plans to make the old XP driver compatible with Windows 7?
January 11, 2009 12:49 PM PST


Da_Maine-iac		 I would like to test Windoze 7 with Intel's Extreme Graphic 2 chipset 865GV. Wondoze did load but with the standard VGA driver so there is no hardware acceleration required by many of my programs. I guess if the only Intel driver is the one supplied with Windoze then the tests all fail. Who do I blame Microsoft or Intel?
January 11, 2009 2:31 PM PST


me_too		 My daughter (8) wants vista because it's more pretty. I gave her an old laptop(HP nx6110) but it's too slow.
Put Win7 on it, boots/runs v fast & lovely.
Just need graphics driver for intel 915g... for it. Just comes up standard vga. cant do 1024x768 & use direct-x or open-gl, cant google earth.

only need a little teeny driver
January 12, 2009 6:35 PM PST


eugene		 I managed to install the 915 driver for my Fujitsu laptop (Mobile Intel 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family - 6.14.10.4704) on Windows 7. It mostly works, but anything requiring direct x acceleration will freeze the laptop. I use VLC for video playback.

Also, the system sort-of freezes (screen is blank, but hdd light flashes now and then) if I leave the lid shut and idle for a while.

I hope a better driver pops up soon!
January 13, 2009 9:58 AM PST


adi		 just finished install windows 7, first time booting it is look impressive, but after shor of time, i realized that this version did not support intel 915 gm chipset. wondering when the driver will come.

huh...
January 13, 2009 2:42 PM PST


Joe		 Well, after installing Windows 7 to my laptop (with an Intel 915 chipset), I noticed that not many features were working. No Aero, can't rate my system, video playback freezes the system, etc.

After looking into the issue, and seeing that it was purely Intel at fault for a lack of driver support (XDDM/WDDM drivers), I've come to a conclusion. No longer will I support Intel products. If a company seriously considers systems less than 2 years old to be out of date and non-usable, I dread to see what other things they decide with their product line.
January 14, 2009 1:34 PM PST


Boris Gonev		 I totaly agree with Joe. I'm stuck with same problem, have great laptop NC6120 with same video card Mobile Intel 915.. If situation stays the same about driver issue, I also will no longer support Intel products.
January 15, 2009 2:03 AM PST


Matthew		 Dont feel too bad about the 915 not working, I have a 945 and it has never been rated more than 2.3 in vista under the experience and now with windows 7 I have a 2.1.
And yes we do need the link to the windows 7 driver IF it really exists .. the driver that windows 7 installed was from 2006 and only after forcing the latest driver for vista ( which apparently that 2006 driver was one for vista anyhow) I am at a 2.1 experience. At least its stopped crashing so much ... graphically that is. but a link to this mythical driver might be interesting.
Intel has never been serious with graphics so doubt this will change. I'm thinking since AMD has ATI maybe that should be the next step for me.

 Where are the windows 7 driver located. I can't find them on the Intel site.
January 15, 2009 10:48 AM PST


Brian		 Talk about a real mess. I just installed Windows 7 on my Dell laptop. Inspiron 1525 with the 965 chipset. It seems that all works well except one greatly need feature. I am having to use the high contrast black to even be able to view my laptop. All the colors are misconfigured. I can tell what a picture is, but it does not display properly. Really intel. You have been around for a long time. I think you can do better. I would really like to use my laptop as normal, but if I cant see it. how can I use it. The problem is that it recognizes the driver, but tells me that my system is not compatible. Can you help me with this and other end users. maybe you should buy this laptop, and test it for yourself. Then you could fix it for me.

 I'd like you all to know that I am doing my best to get answers to some or all of your questions and to let you know what Intel's position is on supporting pre-release drivers within a beta operating system.

I am a .net architect and developer at Intel and don't have much visibility into the driver teams and when and how drivers are released. That said however I am contacting the right people within Intel and hope to have some answers here very shortly.

Tom		 Hi Doug,

Just installed Win7 and it works great so far.
Only thing is that it didn't install a driver for the SM_Bus controller.
I'm using a G33 chipset and everything else seems to have a standard win7 driver.
Any ideas on this?
I suppose that the intel win7 graphics driver will only be for the gpu part of the chipset and hence will not solve this?
I understand that you are not the driver guy, so no pressure ;-)

Greets,

 Hey Rahul,

You might be able to use the Windows Device Manager and choose to update the driver and simply select "Update Driver Software" and then "Search automatically for updated driver software".

If that doesn't work let me know and I'll see if I'm able to find another way.

greg		 I have been trying the Intel 915GV chipset drivers which Win7 Update is giving me to after install to replace the stock video driver. When it first starts up I have no chipset drivers for video or network although network is handled by the wireless adapter driver from HP. Every time I install the 915gs/gv video chipset driver that Update hands over, it freezes when I start the player and I have to hard reboot. There is no way to remove the Update (so far) so I have to Sys Restore and if that doesnt work, I have to reinstall Win7. So I am leaving in the stock MS install driver which has 1024x768 tho it's grainy. I am amazed that no matter how much multi-tasking I pile on, it never taps all of the 528 mb ram on my HP 510 laptop. But the video driver is another thing. What (or when) gives?

Alex		 Hi, I have recently installed Windows 7 beta 1 (build 7000) on a Windows XP Professional. My computer was using the most up to date driver build of Intel, and was working fine. However, when installing Windows 7, I could not change the desktop background. I am stuck with the Microsoft VGA driver. I've tried all the drivers on the Intel website, but nothing. I just need to change the resolution to fit my computer, but I cannot. I have no driver support. I am typing this on a newer PC, with vista dual booted with Windows 7. I am using an NVidea graphics driver and card. (That's what it came with) I didn't even have to install it -- It was automatic. Is there a way to change the resolution? I may have to install an NVidea graphics driver to accommodate the function of changing the resolution. Does anybody have any clue what I should do?
January 17, 2009 12:21 AM PST


Glynn		 I have just finished following a thread on a blog by a fella named Josh where the big issue was i915 support in Vista... here we are 2 years later and people are beginning to play with Win7 ... I am one who have ventured to try it on a 915 equipped laptop...and even with the standard vga driver (which doesn't allow me to see the 1280x800 res that the laptop could do in XP) Win7 is pretty responsive and is working very smoothly... I would think it advantagous if someone put the effort forth to help win7 be supported and fully usable on as many pc's as possible... just a thought
January 17, 2009 12:55 AM PST


blah		 Why is it so difficult to locate this driver? It does not come included in the 7000 build and it does not show up in Windows Update, and it's not on Intel's website... genius. How about a link to the damn thing?
January 17, 2009 1:09 AM PST


Ted Bundy		 The driver comes with Win7 and can be assigned manually through the Device Manager. It does not work for GMA 945 chipset. I cannot get the 945 chipset to work under any circumstances... maybe someone will come up with a fix later.
January 17, 2009 12:47 PM PST


Vasa		 I'm really happy to hear, that intel will make this development.
I have a 915, i dont need aero, only full hardware support for video playback. The winxp driver worked with win 7 6956 release, but with 7000 it crashes.

Many thanks
January 18, 2009 5:34 AM PST


Tom S		 I just installed Windows 7 on my system with the Intel DX58SO motherboard and Core i7 920 processor. I still have six devices that need functional drivers. I would be good for the user community and for Intel to put Beta versions of drivers out for test as they become available.

Johan		 Intel 915 chipset

The drivers that come with windows 7 are the ‘old’ Xp drivers developed by intel.
There will be no wddm-support and thus no aero - NEVER (you can find a lot of information about the issue – just google intel 915 vista capable).

That's not the real thing that bothers me now (I can live without aero). Worse, there is a problem with the intel driver for windows 7: as described above, the system freezes whenever you play video, or whenever an application uses direct3d/directdraw.
The only workaround for the moment I figured out, is to lower the hardware acceleration to the point that you disable all directdraw and direct3d accelerations (in the display/screen resolution menu, advanced settings and troubleshoot). This works fine, but this entails some limited functionality (you will p.e. not be able to run screensavers/games that need Direct3D).

What I do except from Intel, is that at least they release drivers for the 915 chipset that fully support Directdraw and direct3d acceleration under windows 7, taking into account the millions of people who have an even recent laptop with this chipset (I bought mine X41 tablet only two years ago!).

Dough, can you check this?
Thank you,

PJ		 I've got the same problem with my Dell/Inspiron 1525. Windows 7 installed perfectly but, I have the Intel GM965 card and Win7 won't accept the driver. I've attempted to do an update from the device manager but it tells me that my driver is up to date. I'm assuming that's incorrect as my screen looks like a tie dye, psychedelic nightmare.

Any suggestion short of reinstalling another operating system or dropping it out the window would be greatly appreciated.
January 20, 2009 1:59 PM PST


Damon		 Hey Doug,

Would you be able to find out for us if there are any plans to support the Intel 852GM/852GME/855GM/855GME chipsets in W7?

Would really appreciate this for my Dell Latitude D400.

Cheers.

 Hi Johan, and others,

I have contacted people within Intel regarding the issues raised here and will provide an update as soon as I know more.

I agree that it would be very useful for Intel to allow you to download drivers for the Windows 7 beta as they become available. I'll suggest that we do provide early access to drivers although I'm not sure when or even if this will be done.

Regards,

Doug

January 21, 2009 1:01 AM PST


Johan		 Hi Doug,

Thanks for your update! I'm glad to see that Intel is working on the drivers. It should be great to have access to the beta drivers as soon as they become avaible, for us to have directX enabled, and for intel to get feedback of the beta testers.
I'll check your blog for updates!
Thank you again.

January 21, 2009 1:35 PM PST


ppk		 This is causing a huge pain for myself and quite a few other users with the 915 chipset... I figure the least that could be done is update the drivers so that there isn't handicapped functionality with video playback. I feel like it's not TOO much to ask for the 915 chipset to be able to play video in windows 7. Thanks for your time
January 22, 2009 8:48 AM PST


Stefan		 I agree with ppk, this is all we (honorable owners of 915 chipsets) need - to be able to watch video with hardware acceleration on without problems (system freeze). Aero and other fancy stuff does not matter much;)
January 22, 2009 9:30 AM PST


Cadu Becker 		Guys,

I Have a Dell Inspiron 1525, and I Can make it Work PERFECT!
.
intel has released driver installation apps for all of its chipsets
find your exe file for your video adapter on the site of your manufacturer
save the file on your computer, open it in compatibility mode for vista
install, restart. and EVERYTHING works completly.

The Link is : http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us.....eid=245580
Enjoy!!!
January 22, 2009 1:45 PM PST


Jay		 Ignoring 915 chipset owners, the 945 graphics chipset is a relatively important device to have up-to-date drivers for. Every netbook using the Intel Atom processor uses that chipset.

14 million sales in 2008 is hard to ignore.
January 22, 2009 8:14 PM PST


greg		 Don't hold your breath with Intel. Right now, the best bet is to accept the 915 driver from Windows Update (reinstall if u have to in order to get it) then right click desktop>Screen Resolution>Advanced>Troubleshooting>Change Settings and move the Acceleration slider 2-3 positions from the left, or whatever works for you to avoid the WMP hanging. You will get slightly reduced playback quality, but after testing five other players, none give as rich color and allow close to full screen playback except WMP.
The complaints here about the 915/945 drivers will test how responsive a major corporation like Intel will be to consumer demand. Their fallback position with Vista to ignore us so we buy up is intolerable since Windows 7 is, at last, the OS which can run quite well on old laptops and p.c.'s. Thanks to Doug Holland for your efforts, and please let's keep this thread alive so we can see exactly how Intels with a concern so pressing for tech enthusiasts yet not immediately enriching to corporate coffers.

 Doug, this is feedback/cry for help on Intel's Windows 7 driver wrt mobo DG45FC.
The driver does not handle the res of 1280x768 properly - all the timings are wrong.
Also there are no contrast or gamma controls.
The latest Vista driver (when used on Vista on DG45FC) is fine.
Given this is supposed to be a supported mobo, can anyone, confirm/deny the problem or point at a solution.
Very grateful for your help.

Hanny Edris		 I have successfully installed the Windows7 Beta, but when trying to install the motherboard driver CD, {GIGABYTE Intel 945 S-series Ver.1.15} it says failed to install drivers. Can anyone help me.

My simple and straight questions are:

How to make Windows7 and Intel 945 S-series compatible, so that i can have the full experience of Windows7 with Gigabyte motherboard and Intel 945?

Does anyone know what other drivers are required for Windows7 smooth running?

Are there any Touch screen drivers for windows7 from Intel?

 Hey Hanny,

You are most likely running into an issue where the driver pre-dates the Windows 7 beta and the installer is checking the major and minor version numbers of the OS. If it detects anything higher than 6.0.xxxx then it will refuse to install. Personally I have the same problem with a SoundBlaster card although audio on my Intel 975XBX2 motherboard is detected by the OS.

Hopefully soon hardware vendors will begin uploading preview Windows 7 drivers that you can download, at least that is what happened during the Windows Vista beta.

Regards,

Doug
January 23, 2009 3:36 PM PST


greg		 The 915 chipset driver which Windows update is giving me, and which works reasonably well with reduced-acceleration WMP playback, is version 6.14.10.4764. This is also the latest one I found on the web. Anybody else find a more recent one?
January 23, 2009 9:44 PM PST


Jon		 Doug, can you confirm whether or not Intel will fix the issues with the Intel i915 graphics cards? I mean, the freezing with DirectX related software sucks. Even Windows Live Messenger 9 causes a hard crash on my laptop. If Intel is going to release a fix, can you find out the date the drivers "might" be released? Oh, and the Intel drivers provided with Windows Update is older than the XP drivers. XP drivers installed and work just fine on Windows 7, by the way. I just had to run the installer in compatibility mode to overcome the "OS not supported" error. Anyhow.. much appreciated if you can answer :).

Thanks.

Al		 I Installed Windows7 beta on a Dell D400 Latitude laptop. Everything works great but the video. The laptop has the Intel Extream 852MG/855MG graphics chipset. Has anyone gotten any driver to work? 640 X 480 16bit color is the best i can get.
January 24, 2009 9:42 PM PST


Craig Campbell		 Hi all,
Just found this thread.

Doug, I have seen your replies, and am extremely grateful at the effort you are putting in

I'm about to try installing Windows 7 on a Japanese-model Sony Vaio UX50 which says it has a 945GM chipset. I'm interested to see what happens, will post back after I've installed.

However, earlier this week I installed Windows 7 on a Panasonic Let's Note CF-R3, which has an 852/855 chipset. I had been using this quite successfully as a netbook with Ubuntu 8.04, and decided to try Windows 7, as it had impressed me on some other machines. Windows 7 installed flawlessly, and almost every device on my Panasonic worked after running Windows Update - except for the 855 chipset. I am stuck with the standard VGA driver. I can get my full 1024x768 resolution, and my screen image is great. I didn't try much in the way of video playback - just youtube, which worked fine.

However, the main issue is - and for a laptop this is a DOOZY - with the standard VGA driver, I CANNOT sleep or hibernate. Makes my tiny little laptop pretty useless as a tiny little laptop. Go-anywhere machine which cannot really go anywhere because I can't sleep it.

I tried a variety of workarounds to get the XP drivers for this chipset to install - with no luck. It either just reverted to the Standard VGA driver after a reboot, or else BSOD.

I understand that Windows 7 is still a beta, so I can understand that Intel may not have drivers ready yet. However, that old 852/855 chipset is in THOUSANDS if not MILLIONS of laptops sold over the past several years. I would hope that Intel will produce drivers - in fact it will be inexcusable if they do not, given the staggering number of these machines which must be out there.

As another poster pointed out, the saddest thing is that Windows 7 FINALLY is an OS which runs SPECTACULARLY on these older machines, and limited-spec machines like netbooks.

Let me be clear, I am NOT expecting Aero and fancy stuff on such old hardware - but at the VERY LEAST it must be able to support all that the hardware is capable of - that means the full screen resolution, basic video playback - and FULL POWER MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS!!

I really hope Intel will produce at least basic drivers for these older chipsets. The whole laptop market was pretty-much under Intels control for the last few years. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but in my view it is Intel's responsibility not to leave all these thousands and millions of owners out in the cold.

RoB		 Hi! I was just wondering if anybody has some information concerning vertex/shader-support on the latest Intel-drivers for x3100 on Win 7 ?

Most of the games and some applications give the answer that I need a gfx with vertex shader-support. x3100 already has this support but apperently the drivers for Win 7 doesn´t have this?

So.. Any information?

Tihiy		 I'm extremely disappointed.
First, with Vista, Intel dropped all mainstream notebooks with 915GM.
Now with W7 Intel dropped all mainstream netbooks with 945GM.

What's wrong with them? They want Microsoft to fail that bad? All the point of Windows 7 is WDDM1.1, without it - no better than Vista, you can't open more than dozen of windows and everything is magnitude slower.

Nuclear attack anyone?
January 27, 2009 8:49 AM PST


Michael Allen		 Wow. You all make such compelling arguments. "I think this is stupid." "Do you want Microsoft to fail?"
I'm surprised they haven't bent over and given you exactly what YOU want. Oh wait, no I'm not, because Intel is a corporation who have to focus their resources on what will make them money.
If they've discontinued support for a particular chipset going forward, even if it's one as popular as the 945, they have a reason, and it's not to see Microsoft fail you dolt. They're working on the next thing, and it would suit you to shut your idiot mouth and pay attention to technology trends and not bitch about what you can't have.

 945G/GM and G/Q965 family of products will support WDDM 1.0. 965 GM and G35 will support WDDM1.1.
January 28, 2009 5:36 AM PST


Amit		 Hey Intel Guys, glad to see WDDM 1.0 Prerelease for Gma 950, 945gm express chipset, but its having issues playing every single game. Frame rate is low and games flash(screen breaks up?) every five to ten seconds if graphics is set to high, or normal. Take GTA SA for example. In Vista i was able to play it in the highest resolution with the highest settings, slow but runs smooth. But with those drivers even with the lowest settings possible, it flashes time and again(i have no other words to describe it, it like a channel on tv with very signal with an antenna, which goes BZZZ!! it doesnt make the sound but the screen just breaks or flashes. Hope u get it and hope others are having the same problem.)


And please make a new driver available through your download site, would be very helpful.

Amit		 And the WDDM 1.0 software version is 8.15.10.1620
January 29, 2009 6:59 AM PST


coolx		 is there still not update yet for 915GM ?!
January 30, 2009 1:50 PM PST


CheeToS		 Hi Doug,
Is there any way for us to contact Intel to report bugs with the prerelease drivers? I've got a GM965 and I've been using the prerelease drivers, but I've had numerous problems with them and have been forced to revert to the Vista drivers, which are noticeably slower!
January 30, 2009 5:18 PM PST


Dave		 I just installed the Intel(R) 965 WDDM 1.1 driver and it seemed to work until my screen went all zebra on me and I couldn't click or see anything, so I rebooted, somehow, and the same thing happened so I had to do a system restore. Hopefully it gets fixed soon. Just got a laptop and can't use the fun W7 D=
January 31, 2009 2:57 PM PST


Dave		 Update on my post. I was using a pre-beta version of W7 and just realized this. I got the proper beta 7000 and it works. A bit slow, but at least it works =D

February 2, 2009 2:15 PM PST


BrY		 I want aero for 915GM. I don't care what it takes! Even if Intel/MS decides to not support it, there must be a way! Please someone work on it!
February 3, 2009 1:20 PM PST


Vincent		 I have installed windows 7, I have a 915GM chipset and its that bad that even after booting the operating system right on the desktop it freezes, I had to disble my drivers inorder to run this operating system... I would like an update on the situation as soon as possible,
I am even considering buying a new pc... becuase I love testing, but my other main pc is also an intel product so there can be no feedback from that either...
But anyways Im sure intel will manage the situation
after all it is doug HOLLAND :P

 Hey Vincent,

I'm afraid I still do not have more information as I do not work within the area of Intel responsible for these pre-release drivers.

As and when I receieve information I can discuss with you all I will do so, until that time please know I'm trying to find out more details that I would be able to share.

February 5, 2009 3:29 AM PST


iXPert12		 I have recently installed wddm 1.1 driver for my 965 video and i want to say that it really sucks. The game graphic is so slow and freeze every time,or i receive an error. But i installed the latest driver for vista,and i look that they are mostly compatible, at least games run just as they should.
February 5, 2009 12:27 PM PST


BrY		 Hi I would like to post a thorough solution for the most ideal way to use Windows 7. INSTALL this version: 6.14.10.4656 of the driver instead of the newest one. That would solve the booting up freeze problem. Now right when you have restarted you DO have to turn off the direct x on the slider for the troubleshooting in advance settings IF you expect to play any videos- full screen loss of smoothing. Sucks. But at least you won't run into crashes or seeing LSD color mosaics where you can't make anything out. This won't happen if you do as instructed. Use the older driver. You can google for it.
February 5, 2009 12:31 PM PST


BrY		 Oh that was for the 915GM users like me. I was having problems where the colors would wash out if I restarted or if I put the laptop to sleep and resume. ANd then I have to cycle back to the VGA driver and then other driver 6.14.10.4764 caused that problem so if you have the washed out colors randomly when resuming or restarting then take my advice and use 6.14.10.4656 instead. Can anyone else tell me if the older driver has any other problems?
February 5, 2009 8:30 PM PST


marc		 hi all ! i m a little late testing win 7 on a intel 915gm & i managed to have decent graphics performance installing the graphics driver package in compatibility mode. there is no aero though and no full directx support right now. http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filter_results.aspx?strTypes..... bmit=Go%21

i did have to open intel graphic meadia accelerator control panel & play around with the settings a little.
my issue now is to understand why the usb flash drive pops up a "your device can run faster" each time i connect it. any idea on this ? it's definetetly to do with i/o controller host & hci6m but can't work out wheter i got the settings wrong or the driver itself
thank's for now

Dhaval		 Hi Doug,

I'm having 915 chipset. I've installed intel gma 900 graphic drivers via windows 7 update. And after that whenever I try to watch video or start any fullscreen application. My PC got freeze and all I've to do is hard restart. Please tell me that intel is going to give the drivers for 915 chipset for windows 7 or not ? Don't need aero. But need compatible drivers..
February 6, 2009 1:08 PM PST


Hafthor		 I have a nc6120 with Intel 915. I think they should release at least some driver with the functionality that this card can do..I mean comon its a 3d Card...
If you can do 3d in xp you can do it in Vista/windows 7.

BrY		 Since this is ANOTHER chance for MS/Intel to agree on flexing the development for older hardware for Windows 7. They know people won't know its not supported before buying the damn windows 7, thats why. Its not that hard for them to pour like one technician into this project. Why won't they do it? And why won't just 1 group of tech know it alls just get together and hack a related 9XX family WDDM driver for the 915GM. Just do it please, millions of people are counting on it. They can even "unoficially" give us a link and give us whiners for this thing a spin. And we wont' tell anyone, but we'll shut up once and for all. PLEASE!
February 8, 2009 6:19 AM PST


Karl Yngve		 I am yet another one who asks for better drivers for 915GM. It was really disappointing that there was no good graphics drivers for old computers. Video playback is now really bad, even though it is possible to use VLC media player to watch DVDs.

So: Please! Update the 915GM drivers for Vista and win7!
February 9, 2009 9:52 AM PST


Johan		 @brY and others: please understand that we're talking about a beta, and that it's understandable that the old Vista (XP) drivers are not working perfectly out of the box. So I think we have to be patient.
@Doug: I appreciate your efforts. I’m looking forward for the outcome of the contacts you had with the people within Intel regarding the issues.

 Hey Johan,

I'd like to thank you for your comment and will definitely update everyone here as and when I am able to do so.

It is important to realize, as Johan indicates, that Windows 7 is a beta operating system and as such driver support cannot be expected to be along the same lines of a released operating system.

While Microsoft was developing Windows codename "Longhorn", which was released as Windows Vista, they talked extensively about what would be in the operating system. Unfortunately the Windows Vista team set the bar very high and was unable to deliver on many commitments they previously made.

With Steven Sinofsky running the Windows division the teams are being more silent as the operating system takes shape in Redmond. Sinofsky ran Microsoft Office the same way and as such Office has not received the same negative publicity due to over commitments.

Along with the Windows division you'll see that many companies are also talking less about what they will deliver for Windows 7 in terms of applications, devices, and associated device drivers.

As Windows 7 takes steps towards the release candidate and ultimately the final build you'll see more and more driver support from various companies. Yesterday I discovered there was now a Windows 7 beta driver for a Creative Labs sound card that I have in a desktop machine at home.

Regards,

Doug
February 9, 2009 4:19 PM PST


BrY		 I'm not as much complaining, as I am trying to make a point. TO: Doug since you are the proxy in this situation to communicate with Intel, well this is the CRUCIAL moment of us making a point so they will consider it, this is the perfect time since every is decided right now. Some of the people here are making it sound like its sufficient as long as the OLD DRIVERS that were not even created to be used with Vista even and just do a half ass job and make the final of Windows 7 still use the XP drivers?! NO WAY! Doug why don't you ask Intel or MS wouldn't it be easier for them to bring the 915GM up to spec with the other 9XX series. Its not impossible, and its just a suggestion, they just need to realize how much of us are eager and disappointed we're handicaped everyday I use my computer, I dread not having the aero peek previews its not just about aesthetics, the functionality of Windows is impaired without the various Aero only features. Let us have it!
February 9, 2009 4:24 PM PST


BrY		 Doug,

This is the moment when MS and Intel are considering what to put development in. Please since they already have WDDM 1.1 drivers pretty strong for the other 9XX cards, obviously they have to decide now how to support 915 users, can you let them know its not acceptable to just modify the current XP drivers, they are not fair in not giving the 915 its full potential.

I they claim Aero isn't sufficient why did it work in one of the Vista Beta experiment drivers?! Its because they did not have time during Vista development, or one of the engineers got lazy or overlooked. This time is different. Windows 7 development time is expanded to almost a year, this is the time.

Tell them to just simply start development with that one beta in Vista that had a driver that allowed Aero, and continue development on that so its ready for release right before Release Candidate of 7! That is the perfect plan. Thank you.
February 11, 2009 4:26 AM PST

February 11, 2009 9:26 AM PST


mendoza		 I DID IT!!

my 915GM WORKS 100% on windows 7 beta
just download the XP drivers (NOT VISTA) (win2k_xp142550)
install in compatability mode and works perfectly!!!

ENJOY
February 11, 2009 1:47 PM PST


BrY		 Mendoza- Is this with all graphic acceleration enabled? Slider all the way to right? I think I tried that driver at first, and it freezes video. You can play videos without freezing in full directX mode? I highly doubt it, and don't want to deal with the mess of trying it again. Let us know for sure. Thanks.
February 11, 2009 2:43 PM PST


isal		 yeah, me too...
915GM worked when I just ran windows 7..
but it freezes when checking media decode performance
February 12, 2009 5:36 AM PST


ceeesquared		 i think mendoza haven't tried using media player yet. unless he has moved the slider to the right and disabled directx related functions. i also encounter that problem and while i do want to upgrade my driver so i can use the external display, i can't play video's properly unless i use the slide technique but loss video quality.
February 15, 2009 8:46 AM PST


Sam		 I've recently reinstalled the mobile intel 915GM drivers from my sony viao laptop. I can't seem to understand why the intel graphic (blue) icon on my start toolbar isn't working. It's just sitting on my start toolbar but I can't seem to get anything when I click on it.
February 16, 2009 4:21 PM PST


BrY		 Has anyone tried Beta build 7022 of Windows 7 yet? I am about to dive into it. Wish me luck, and I'll report back any differences. I hope Microsoft/Intel had put some update somewhere in there for 915. *SIGH* But I highly doubt it!
February 16, 2009 5:15 PM PST


Ennis		 This is insane. I'll develop the driver myself if they open source the XP version. Do they realize how many Centrino 1 laptops are out there? It was irresponsible to not have WDDM 1.1 support for all Centrino chipsets. My 10+ year old compaq is still supported.

There must be a reason that no devs have chimed in yet on what the real reason is for the lack of support. Someone in Intel still doesn't get what open disclosure means. And they clearly don't understand why early adopters are important.

You guys are not starting out on a good relationship with 3rd party developers for Intel hardware. I'm frustrated and that's as much as I can say right now.
February 17, 2009 4:17 PM PST


BrY		 I successfully installed Windows 7 New Revision 7022. In full hardware acceleration, it doesn't freeze up the entire system, but crashes the media player that you try to play the video in. So back to square 1, have to move the slider to no directX support. I have a problem though. I need the EXACT XDDM driver version 6.14.10.4656

Does anyone have it? I forgot to make a backup of it. That is the only one that seem to run perfect when resuming from sleep. Please let me know if you have it and I can give you my email address to send it over. Thanks for helping out.
February 17, 2009 5:19 PM PST


Fx		 @BrY
7 is only support WDDM, I think that you can run this with XDDM
I dont expect the full support (like Aero), I just want GMA900 Graph Card to run with full hardware acceleration, then I can run the light game with D3D or OpenGL effects, play the video or some basic function.
This card is supprot max 128MB display memory shared dynamicly. why can't set always share max. We can add a new ram but we cant replace the card.
February 17, 2009 5:20 PM PST

February 18, 2009 12:03 PM PST


BrY		 There will never be ea WDDM driver for Windows 7, so have to deal with using XPPM. It works to a degree. Someone please post a link to the version I need! Thanks.
February 19, 2009 8:38 AM PST


Stefan		 to BrY:

You can download the XDDM driver version 6.14.10.4656 from the following link:

http://justendeal.com/driver/855gm_vista_driver.zip

XDDM driver is for both Intel 915GM and 855GM chipsets
February 19, 2009 5:31 PM PST


Matt		 Just wanted to add that I too am really hoping for a Windows 7 driver for my Intel 915 chipset. I'm up and running after several attempts but as others have stated, I can't load anything requiring directx acceleration including WMP. My intention is to switch to a retail copy on my laptop once it is released but I won't be doing this if there isn't a compatible driver for it. Thanks.
February 19, 2009 8:15 PM PST


BrY		 Thanks Stefan, you're my savior. Driver build 4656 seem the most stable and doesn't "flicker" or have color mosaics during start up. It seems the most suitable driver when it comes to XDDM. I wonder why its not downloadable at all from a simple google search. Build 4656 of the driver seem non existant until you came to my rescue. Thanks. I'm about to download the rumored "RTM" Released to Manufacturing build of Windows 7 and test it out. I'm just an early adopter. :)
February 19, 2009 8:21 PM PST


Greg		 VICTORY! After having to used reduced hardware acceleration on Win 7000 beta for weeks, I recently replaced it with build 7022, which I Vlited down to 1.27g, using 208mb of ram at idle on an old HP 510 laptop with Intel GM Express chipset with the latest Intel support driver download .4764. I am able to play videos and streaming on the WMP with full hardware acceleration, slider set all the way to the right! I believe this is an improvement in the 7022 build and not anything I removed with Vlite (media center, languages, drivers, tablet, etc).
February 19, 2009 8:23 PM PST


greg		 btw for anyone interested in trying the stripped down Vlite version of Win7 which runs fast and stable on my old laptop and p.c. with 528 ram, I posted the vlite lot on Windows 7 forum, support.
February 19, 2009 8:24 PM PST


GREG		 log, that is
February 20, 2009 2:40 PM PST


BrY		 In Windows 7.7022, I can' t get video to play in full hardware acceleration on MEDIA PLAYER CLASSIC latest build with codecs. I can get video to play in full hardware acceleration in Windows Media Player 12 that comes with Windows 7 but I don't want to use it as the main player. Any solutions/experience anyone wan tto share?
February 22, 2009 10:15 AM PST


Dan		 Bri,

What driver version are you using with Windows build 7022? And what is the device PNPID? The builds on MSConnect are up to 7045+ and there are much newer Intel WDDMv1.1 driver available for internal test which integrates the 15.12 baseline Vista driver with all of the WDDMv1.1 additions and improves media playback and performance tremendously. I have not tried MPC or VideoLAN on recent builds - I believe those tools usually ship with their own internal codecs which may supersede whatever is built into Windows. The codecs in Windows have specific provisions to enable DXVA and whatnot for particular chipsets

-----

For everybody else, Intel i915 drivers are available:
http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/ScopedViewInline.....ddaa401dd8
http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/ScopedViewInline.....8ecf9d8266

Note that this is an XDDM driver. There are known issues with BETA build 7000 and ALL XDDM drivers. I recommend upgrading to a Windows 7 RC build as soon as it is available in your distribution channel (TechBETA/MSConnect, etc.)


-----

Drivers for i945/i945GM/i965/i965GM/G35/i4/i45/i45GM are here:
http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=wi.....ntel+video

Note that 8.15.10.1620 is only designed for use with BETA build 7000 and may not run correctly on the latest Windows 7 RC builds. When the official RC build is released, there will be a refresh of the drivers available on Windows Update.


-----

Preliminary support for GMA500/Poulsbo is:
http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/ScopedViewInline.....90537cd098

Note this is just a Windows Vista driver published for Windows 7 and has some known issues.


Dan
February 22, 2009 1:14 PM PST


Stefan		 To BrY:

This driver( 6.14.10.4656 ) is written by Microsoft, not by Intel, and probably this explaines the difference on the new Windows 7;)

I came upon some links stating that build 7022 resolves the freezing issues, but I cannot confirm that - I use build 7000 and will wait until RTM version to see what the development of the story will be;)
February 23, 2009 3:40 PM PST


BrY		 Stefan, it does run Windows Media Player 12 7022 build in full compatiblity mode. But I got used to using Media Player Classic, where I have to move the slider to no direct X support as before. It won't freeze your system in full compatibility, but it just crashes MP Classic. There must be a setting in the decoders to allow it to act like WMP12, but I'm not familiar on how to tweak it. Anyone know how to do that? WMP 12 is a nice improvement with always on top, but it has too thick of borders. You should try out 7022 because RTM isn't suppose to be released until Mid April.

WILL SOMEONE PLEASE JUST DEVELOP A WDDM driver for 915. Can't they just look into the WDDM drivers for 945-950 and make modifications to it to work with 915 GM with the XDDM Builds?! Please someone develop it. Thanks.
February 23, 2009 3:51 PM PST


BrY		 The lack of Aero is like a total handicap to the usability of the OS in Windows 7. In Vista, it was somewhat tolerable to do without Aero, as it was just visual enhancements. In Windows 7 Aero represents all the vital usability enhancements of the OS itself, its inexcusable to be without Aero when even older systems can use it. Any programmers/developers can probably put some effort and reverse engineer current WDDM drivers for 945+ provided by the Windows 7 driver database and make it compatible with 915GM. XDDM and WDDM drivers are basically the same with some extra coding to identify it as WDDM no? So why not put some effort into making it a reality. Please provide feedback here on any development of WDDM. Thanks.
February 26, 2009 7:58 AM PST


Johan		 Hi Doug,

There are reports on the internet that the problem of the Intel 915 chipset with Windows 7 is revolved in (Windows) build 7022: “For those of us with Intel 915 and 855 chipsets who have had to reduce hardware acceleration in Win7000 wmp11 or else have a complete freeze up, this appears to be solved in build 7022. I now have full hardware acceleration on my 915gm chipset using the .4764 latest video driver from intel support. (http://windows7forums.com/windows-7-support/3027-intel-915-w.....022-a.html)”
As this is not an official beta, I will not install or try this.

But is it possible for you:
a) to check if those claims are correct.
b) if so, to offer this solution for the official 7 beta (build 7000), via Windows update or a download link from Intel.

I’m wondering if the problems are caused by an Intel driver problem or Microsoft related problem, now that I'm reading that the problem is resolved using the same video drivers (4764) as those we use with Windows 7000.

Or is it true that Microsoft and not Intel developed those drivers as I read once (but I cannot remember where)?

On January 20th, you wrote that you contacted some people within Intel. Did you get some answers or insights that you’re able to share with us?

A lot of questions ;-)

Thank you in advance,
Johan
February 26, 2009 10:29 AM PST


Sam		 @Johan

The fix for the XDDM freezing was in the Windows 7 OS itself. If you read the release notes for the 7000 build, you'll see there is a note specifically citing poor compatibility with ALL XDDM components, not just Intel i915. The issue has most certainly been fixed in 7022 and later builds if you're hooked up on MSConnect. Please see:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/D/B/FDBFC5A5-51CD-4.....0Notes.htm

"Video drivers

Systems which use XDDM drivers may completely stop responding in certain scenarios. The computer will not respond to CTRL+ALT+DELETE and you will have to cycle the power to restart the computer, with the attendant risk of loss of unsaved data."



Also, Microsoft does not write drivers for Intel GPU's period.

When Microsoft distributes a generic driver on behalf of Intel, the text "(Microsoft Corporation)" is added onto the end of the localizable string in the INF file. That's all. Same goes for Nvidia and ATI drivers. Its a bit confusing so maybe MS will change that scheme - but probably not since its been that way since XP.


As for overall compat, the Intel drivers are 4 years old already. There is quite a big change in the Windows 7 concurrency model, so its likely that Windows 7 simply exposes existing bugs in the mature XDDM driver. I doubt Intel will step up to fix those bugs though because the HW is no longer being sold.

Somebody asked about WDDM on i915 - I'm pretty sure i915 never supported WDDM - even in Vista BETA. I believe Vista BETA had a regkey hack which allowed Aero/Glass to run on XDDM. But I think performance was so bad that MS removed it. Don't have a reliable reference so take my comment with a gain of salt.
February 26, 2009 5:40 PM PST


BrY		 SUCCESS! I reinstalled the latest XDDM drivers and downloaded the newest available codecs and a new version of Media Player Classic, everything plays at FULL Direct X support on 915GM. No need to switch around for games/video play, or forced to use WMP 12 for playing videos, and all the videos are sharp and antialiased/no pixelation on fullscreen. However, still want the OS Aero support. Then we're set. Please develop, thank you.

BrY		 I jumped ship. No more of this 915GM-BS. Intel/MS will do nothing. Got myself a new Sony laptop, and not going to look back at the lack of Aero functionality that is vital on Windows 7. Enough is enough, I suggest everyone else give up on 915GM compatibility. It will never fully be.
March 7, 2009 3:35 PM PST


bono1		 GREAT NEWS. Windows 7 Build 7048 fixes the freezing issues. Windows experiance index and avi files play with no freezing.
March 11, 2009 6:23 PM PDT


hazard0us		 Just another person expressing disappointment that Intel hasn't produced 915GM drivers for Windows 7. Here is my story. I bought a brand new Inspiron 700m laptop from Dell in January 2006. I have loved it every day and nothing has ever gone wrong with it. (didn't upgrade it to Vista) I put the Windows 7 Beta onto it in January 2009 and and realised that Intel wasn't going to write 915 graphics drivers. This is 3.0 years... is this standard for Intel? If so, that's about the shortest support period I know of. Since you need all the elements in a computer to have drivers for it to be useful, my Inspiron 700m had to go back to XP, and I'll have to buy another laptop to use Windows 7.

Maybe Intel brass is saying "yes, and that is exactly the way we want it".

It's reasonable to assume that if Intel writes drivers for every part going back to 1991, fewer brand new computers will be bought, because users will be able to keep on using their existing systems. How many though? In these economic times, people simply don't have the money to upgrade the entire thing simply because one of its parts doesn't have driver support. And - I assert that it won't be THAT many fewer computers that are bought. Older hardware simply doesn't have the performance of the latest stuff. However, Intel makes tons of profit (even in Q4 2008) and can afford to have driver teams. The drivers don't have to be awesome, and support every feature. They just have to enable the basic features to work. Example - my Inspiron 700m can only put a 1024x768 display of Windows 7 onto the 1280x800 screen of the laptop. Apart from that it's pretty darn usable!!! Performance is at or close to the same as it was w/ XP. If they only adapted the driver so that it could work with 1280x800, I'd probably be happy.

The other side of this is, when I go to buy my next laptop, I'll now be looking to see what the chipset is, and no matter whether it's a venerable workhorse chipset or the latest whizz-bang part, if it's Intel, I'll know that in 3.0 years from my purchase date, they might already have dropped support for it altogether and I could be getting the shaft.

CyberMuZ		 I am using the 32bit version of Windows 7 Build 7000 on a Intel D915GVWB.

I let the Driver update wizard run a search on the internet "Windows Update" and it came up with a proper driver for the 915G graphics.

Will post more information later.

Ramotar kalia		 i have lost my original driver pack of intel chip set of 2.0 945
March 17, 2009 4:01 PM PDT


Josh		 Yes Windows updates in Windows 7 Build 7000 finds drivers for GMA9xx but it's only WDDM v1.0 and not 1.1
March 17, 2009 6:27 PM PDT


[r@[KdUp		 I took bits and pieces from everyone's suggestions and used compatibility mode (for windows xp sp2) and installed Dell's video driver R126990 and now I have full resolution capabilities. I'm kinda an amateur, but it works. I don't think it's the same chipset as you all. I'm reconditioning an old Dell GX260 optiplex and had been trying to get the the onboard video drivers updated for a while. I'm not sure what chipset it has, but I'm up and running.
I can't explain everything, but it works, which is what I needed, obviously. Hope this helps anyone.
March 18, 2009 4:02 PM PDT


Kyle 		Anyone else notice that the automatic update driver for windows 7 beta Build 7000 915gm works fine until you unplug your laptop from the power supply and the screen loses almost all color. Is there any fix for this? I have been trying tediously but with no success. The 915gm express drivers for XP fix the power supply problem but the graphics are slow and not very responsive. There is some lag in full screen video.
March 19, 2009 8:41 AM PDT


isal		 err...still can't use aero feature even in latest build ?!
March 20, 2009 7:10 AM PDT


Tim John		 Hi - This is another request from someone who needs a proper 915GM driver for my laptop. Without it, my computer freezes when I try to play video and BSODs when I swicth from external monitor to laptop screen by opening and closing my lid.

This so far is the main reason my Windows 7 installation isn't seeing any action, except when I boot it to see if there are any driver updates. There's just no point cos it's so volitile!

Please someone at Intel get on the case :)
March 22, 2009 2:29 AM PDT


bmoura		 In Windows 7 beta, the supplied video driver for the 945/950 integrated graphics chip does not support Open GL 1.4 - only Open GL 1.1

Any word on when an updated Intel video driver is coming ?

March 24, 2009 12:12 AM PDT


Kevin		 My 965 GM has no new support from intel either. It has Intel X3100 onboard graphics. No sign anywhere of beta drivers from intel to support the X3100 that intel claimed was competitive with decrete graphics. I'm losing faith fast and will choose an AMD based system, with ATI based graphics if nothing changes very soon with Intel and it's 18 month old abandoned technology.
March 28, 2009 4:35 PM PDT


Garrett		 Kyle, I have noticed the same problem with my Dell XPS M140. I have it up and running @ 1280 x 800 my biggest grief is that when I unplug from the power supply it becomes unusable as the color is sucked right out of it, plug it back in and it's good to go again. Anyone else? If so has anyone found a work around?

As for Doug, god bless you, its like 500 to one on this forum... does everyone realize that its not Doug's personal fault the 915 isn't windows 7 friendly? Doug by himself didn't decide not to support the 915? He is trying to help us... lets try to keep it that way and play nice...
March 28, 2009 5:26 PM PDT


Kyle		 Garrett, Yeah I have been waiting forever for the new drivers but no updates. If you need to use your M140 on battery, use the XP drivers they work okay, at least the color doesn't go out when you unplug your laptop. Otherwise, I've really enjoyed 7 so far. I'm sure Microsoft will come through with some good drivers!

balakrishna		 Hi - iam requesting for driver for Intel® Desktop Board DG35EC needs driver iam not get audio out put not sound at all in my desktop i am useing windows 7 OS plz do the needful
March 30, 2009 3:54 PM PDT


Aines		 So there is a definitive answer or not? Will WDDM 1.1 driver for Windows 7 to the GMA 950? At the 1.0 version of 3D performance tends to 0:(
March 31, 2009 8:29 AM PDT


edd		 You intel guys are suckers. u make a chipset, sell it as the latest and then u forget it.
April 1, 2009 11:28 PM PDT


Rob Marinella		 Trying to install Windows Vista or Windows 7 on a 82852/82855 chipset laptop is a frustrating experience. Intel doesn't write drivers for it because it's not capable of supporting the new OS? Please, explain to me why the Ubuntu community can write drivers that work with a much more demanding compiz desktop effects package in Linux? The graphics capabilities are clearly in the chipset to operate Aero in Vista or 7. The real reason behind it is to sell new chipsets, not write drivers for old hardware taht don't generate revenue! Has it ever occured to Intel they could sell drivers for old chipsets that work with the new operating systems? $5 a pop would be good for the end users and for Intels profits. Not to mention good will with your existing customer base. These are hard economic times .... a lot of folks can't afford new hardware, but could swallow the expense of a new OS and driver updates.
April 3, 2009 9:22 AM PDT


Iftikar		 Windows display driver module (WDDM) is inbuild feature of windows7 ( as well as for vista) but as to have more feature of that graphics card you may need to install driver for graphics
April 5, 2009 8:52 AM PDT


DragosSV		 This release has a lot of bugs, my advice Don't install!!!!!, i have intel graphic media accelerator x3100, my current driver is intel 965 express chipset family, and os windows 7, i try updated my video driver, and it updated to intel 965 express chipset family (prerelease wddm 1.1) and video card stoped work correctly. It still have a lot of work at this update. My question is why did windows put it on update if is a beta version of driver ?
April 7, 2009 1:58 PM PDT


Tiberius		 DragosSV: Because it's a Beta Operating System? And because anything is better than nothing.

I installed Win7 build 7000 on an X200 Tablet with a 4500MHD card and was getting texture corruption errors after a few hours of use. Installed Vista and the latest drivers and couldn't replicate it, so it's definitely an Intel driver problem, not a hardware problem. Hopefully they fix it by the Win7 RC.
April 9, 2009 12:25 AM PDT


Damon		 Hi Doug,

Almost a month has passed since your last post on this subject. Have you got any more news on the 855GM chipsets, or any of the other chipsets?

Many thanks Doug.

Damon.

 Hi there,
Windows 7 has been around for a while and the RC will be available in the next few days. I am stick to Intel motherboard and cannot have driver for Windows 7.

Other motherboard from ASUS, GIGABYTE, FOXCON, or MSI are very easy to get the driver. It's commonly that their driver for XP can work for Win 2k3 while driver for Vista can work for Windows 7.

For software tester like me, I need to install different kind of OSes on my PC but it's even harder when using Intel motherboard.

I think Intel should have driver to support their customers as soon as the new OS is released.
April 25, 2009 10:56 PM PDT


Magdy		 Last evaluation of Windows 7 (7100) completely turn off any possibility to use Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME graphic controller. Even using the trick to load the drivers found for the previous builds (safe mode and so on...) now you have the Device Manager/Device Status saying "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems (code 43)).
Sigh!!!
April 26, 2009 10:07 PM PDT


neo		 Guys ... i will answer some of the questions ...

1. first intel GMA 950 does not support wddm 1.1 since it is only a directx 9 card ... only cards that support directx 10 or later can run wddm 1.1 .... but still GMA 950 support wddm 1.0 so u will get all the aero affect etc ....

2. Don't expect any drivers from intel for GMA 950 as they have stopped releasing drivers for a very long time for vista and xp (almost a year for xp)...

3. well 915 users should stick with XPDM drivers for window 7 beta ..

4. and if u guys want to have wddm 1.1 and want to play games get some cheap directx 10 cards like 8400 GS which outperforms all the intel igp available in the market now ...

5. don't wait for larrabee because who knows when they will stop providing drivers for larrabee ... and first of all it took almost a year to provide hardware Tn L drivers for intel x3100 ... then think about how long will it take for intel to provide proper drivers for larrabee..

 Hey Garrett, Damon

I just wanted to say thank you!!!

I wish I had more I could add to the debate although like you indicated in your comment, I'm not even an element of the conversations into which devices are supported with Windows 7 drivers and which are not.

Windows 7 is important to Intel as are the customers who want to use this excellent new operating system on their existing hardware. If I learn more that I am able to share I will definately come back here and share what I know.

Regards,

Doug
May 10, 2009 9:56 AM PDT


Devin		 @Garret and @Kyle My Dell XPS m140 is having the same problem i have tried everything and I dont know what to do. I disabled the intel driver to use the basic universal microsft display driver. What did you do to fix the problem? Please Help me
May 10, 2009 10:21 PM PDT


drizzle		 Doug,

I just want to say that there is enormous interest in a Win7 compatible driver for some of the legacy chipsets such as 855gm, 965, etc. A quick Google search (with auto-suggest enabled) will show what I mean. It would be a real shame for Intel not to release updated drivers, particularly since Windows 7 is capable of running on older systems. I realize you don't work in driver development, but as a PR person, you should definitely convey the community's need for an updated driver. Most other manufacturers had released beta drivers starting with the 7000 build, and now that the 7100 RC is out, there's really no excuse for not having SOMETHING ready. Many people are already using 7100 as a primary operating system (even though it's not "officially recommended"), and are forced to either use a gimp work around (which I did) or rely on the default drivers.
May 11, 2009 4:47 AM PDT


Matt
Yes I have a Toshiba with a 822/855 intel chipset... Got windows 7 RC on it and alas after reading this, it seems I will be doomed with the standard VGA driver :(
May 11, 2009 11:57 AM PDT


Derrick		 I to must jump on the bandwagon of those with the 822/855 troubles.

I have gone through every possible suggested scenario and always with the same result.............. the device manager shows the driver installed, but not working or being used due to an error. I'm forced to use the Standard VGA Graphics Adapter.

This means I cannot watch any video without jumping and studdering even in VLC's media player.

I'm using an IBM R51 laptop.
It's crazy there are this many laptops that use this exact same chip yet here we are with a releace Candidate of Windows 7 and still no driver support to make it function.
:(
May 11, 2009 12:31 PM PDT


tony		 Is there a way to upgrade the intergrated video card on the 700m dell laptops to something that is currently supported?
May 12, 2009 5:49 AM PDT


Pyrofer		 I dont expect Intel to ever do a wddm driver for my 915gm chipset, doesnt mean I dont want it, doesnt mean Intel shouldnt be making it. I just dont beleive in miracles anymore.

To Intel, this is NOT an issue about the cost of supporting old hardware, its a direct loss of sales on FUTURE hardware. Who will buy another laptop using GMA etc knowing that Intel will drop support for it in 6 months.
Not me. Not many people. Why are so many laptops now using ATI and nVidia gfx chips? because at least they can be bothered to support their hardware.
A lot of people with old laptops will be thinking of buying a new one, will they go for the same sort as they have nothing but trouble with at the moment? or change to another type. I think I know the answer.
By not supporting hardware that is is some cases <12 months old (not even out of garantee!) you are slashing your prospects of future sales.
Pull your fingers out of where the sun doesnt shine, open your eyes and realise that in current economic times CUSTOMER SERVICE IS KEY. Things that do not directly result in profit could be the things that save your company in 6 to 12 months time.
May 12, 2009 12:09 PM PDT


neo 		@Pyrofer

well man ... what i have read that intel 915 chipset does not support wddm 1.1 but u can run vista using XPDM drivers .. well and u r try i am one of the few users that have shifted from intel GMA 950 to nvidia 8600 GT ( which supports wddm 1.1 , GPGPU , compute shader ) and after finding out that my intel c2D processor does not support windows xp mode and virtual PC so i am planning to get an AMD processor ... intel's lot of processors does not support windows xp mode and virtual pc on windows 7 ... guys ... i have written a lot of mail to them to provide drivers for intel GMA 950 but i haven't got any reply from them ... so i thought its better to get some better hardware ....
May 13, 2009 1:25 AM PDT

May 13, 2009 3:36 AM PDT


Antoine		 Hi,

Everything is working fine so far except one thing regarding an external monitor. On Vista, no issue at all. With Windows 7, it detects my external monitor and display its brand and so on... But whenever I go through the different displays mode, my external monitor remains black.

Anyone has an idea regarding that issue? Thanks.
May 13, 2009 7:22 PM PDT


Derek		 Wow, all I know is that there is an overwhelming amount of people with the Intel 822/855 chip stuck with this problem in Windows 7. Sounds like MS is not about to take action, and somewhere inside me I wish that Intel would step up, but in this day and age, I try not to keep my hopes up.

Time to revert back to *gulp* Vista...
May 15, 2009 2:59 AM PDT


Misaki Ki		 Currently I'm "stuck" using Windows 7 on this laptop (mx6030). Managed to get the majority of drivers working, save the video drivers (855). I've been impressed with Windows 7 so far, but no video driver, no fun.

Here's hoping for the best, and many thanks to Doug Holland as well!
May 15, 2009 3:36 AM PDT


René		 yo ppl i tryed with all da ways to get intel drivers for this win 7 but as Doug said, its a beta, when the real win 7 appear this beta driver have to change again, just b patient lol...imma try da same...while this happen ill b trying to create a compatible version of the intel extreme graphics 2, if anyone need it, or can help with this cause and noe how to edit drivers, just type here and lets finish with this headache xD
May 15, 2009 3:41 AM PDT


René		 thats true, no vid driver NO FUN!!! lmao
May 15, 2009 3:58 AM PDT


Ren		 yo Doug, found a problem with .NET in win xp sp3, sp2 (tryed in both of them) 32 bit version i tried it in one of my comps and well it makes a delay when u move the windows around the screen, i mean, when u install internet explorer 8 (32 bit) also makes this happen...but even if u uninstall both of them then u install only .NET the problem starts again :S, the comp that i used to try its a hp dx2000mt, pentium 4, 3ghz, 2.25 GB of ram, win xp (tryed with sp3 and sp2), video card vga standar, (poor video card, in evaluation system haves the lowest level i think lol), so...its the video card the problem??? cuz the ram should make the comp controll it + the extreme graphics 2 in there should b no problem at all but dunno what u think??? what is the problem??? i did format this comp about 5 times just to try it and find what is the cause and i found that is the .NET or sum stuff that haves 32 bit version aplications...ah and also sum friends got the same problem in different computers.
May 15, 2009 4:00 AM PDT

robin mishra		 Hi,
Recently I download windows 7 trial version and use it. It is good. With W7 they give a Graphic and Audio drivers, Graphic driver are ok, but Audio driver is not good. I have Intel D945GNT Classic series and before W7 I use last updated IDT sound driver which is really good. IDT install with W7 but when turn on PC later it can’t work.
I want to know did you launch a new drivers according W7? If you launch that so how can I
Downloaded it?
Thanks
Robin

Rahul		 Hello, I have installed the release candidate of windows 7 but if the laptop is on battery power screen goes black, then comes back again and I get the message that the display driver had stopped working and has recovered. What to do? Is it a common problem?
May 16, 2009 6:05 AM PDT


Alex		 People using Intel 852/855 chips are too many to ignore... Please make a WDDM driver for these graphics chips.
May 16, 2009 7:36 PM PDT


René		 whats up Rahul, well bout ur problem, if ur laptop comes with win vista, when vista appears some ppl haves this problem with it when they use Nvidia video cards or ATI, ur laptop its ok i think, most of the laptops comes with 1gb of ram or more which is the minimum requeriment to intall win 7 (talking bout ram), if u can put more info of ur laptop, like: ram, operating system (the one ur laptop brings from the factory), processor, which video card ur laptop use and if u have a tv card on it, with this info i will be able to find an answeer for you because i can say something but may not work on your comp...read if ur laptop haves all the necesarie requeriments to install win 7.

Here’s what you need to have:
Internet access (to download Windows 7 RC and get updates)
A PC with these minimum recommended specifications:
- 1 GHz 32-bit or 64-bit processor or higher
- 1 GB of system memory or more
- 16 GB of available disk space
- Support for DirectX 9 graphics with 128 MB memory (to enable the Aero theme)
- DVD-R/W Drive
Please note these specifications could change. And, some product features of Windows 7, such as the ability to watch and record live TV or navigation through the use of "touch," may require advanced or additional hardware.
May 17, 2009 2:11 PM PDT


Brian Smith		 I'm a bit stunned by this whole conversation. I use XP on my desktop computers. I have Vista on a laptop (Dell Latitude D830) and I hate it (Vista, not the laptop). I hate it so much that I decided to downoad Windows 7 Release Candidate the very morning Microsoft made it available to the general public and obliterate Vista for ever. So far I really like Windows 7.

I'm not a developer. I do know about chipsets, drivers and graphics cards. And I know I've got Intel graphics chips because Second Life won't run and gives me an "Intel graphics driver" error.

But I've no idea what WDDM and GMA mean. Nor the other techie stuff. All I know is that Second Life won't run (and possibly other things I haven't found yet) and I'm assuming that companies like Intel and Microsoft are onto the problem and working on it.

But you seem to be saying that Intel is doing nothing. Surely this can't be true?

When I bought my two desktop computers I specified Intel processors because I felt they were the best. But my confidence is badly dented.

Tell me, is Second Life ever going to work under W7 on a laptop with Intel chips or am I waiting in vain?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

René		 sup Brian, im not from intel, 2 yung i think to b in there lol but i do know bouth ur problem, its bcause of the drivers for a laptop, usualy they dont bring video cards like nvidia or ati, but yah second life will work on win7 when intel create video card drivers for this win7, wddm its the driver that this windows need to acelerate the graphics in this case 3D graphics, i ustued to play vside and also cannot run it on this win cuz need the driver, i hope that intel create this drivers soon, and then we can start to use the 3D graphics as full as we can...its not ur comp dont worrie it will work happend to me on my desktop computer its all about drivers that will appear soon i hope...
May 18, 2009 6:56 AM PDT


neo 		well guys ... give intel some break ... they have been slammed with huge fine from EU ( 1.45 billion dollars ) ... well those who want to play some games on intel GMA 950 ... they can approach this group ... i am a member of this group and with the help of this group i am able to play lots of games which i thought or not playable using this crap GMA ..

http://groups.google.com/group/intel9x-gaming

hope u will be happy with the group ..
May 18, 2009 8:14 AM PDT


Joerg Baermann		 Just use a Vista driver release, it works fine on Windows 7.
I don't play games on my laptop (which has the Intel GFX) so can't say how "bad" it is for gaming.
I don't except it to be good either, ATI and nVidia are the leading gpu makers..
So the power horses are in my stationary, and they run perfect under Windows 7 with any game I throw at them.
May 18, 2009 2:06 PM PDT


alon		 i have Intel 852/855 and somehow i got it to work with windows 7 RC. i think i just used the latest driver from HP (laptop maked) and its working, though i am not sure since i dont remember.
the driver says: "Intel(R) 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller (Microsoft Corporation - XDDM)"
May 19, 2009 7:41 AM PDT


Grizz		 I have intel 915 chipset. I installed the xp driver on Windows 7 RC and everything runs fine with hardware acceleration set to full! No lockups or anything.
May 20, 2009 3:43 AM PDT


Christo		 I have Intel G45. Works on Windows 7, but poor video quality and speed. I hope newer drivers will resolve this issue.
May 20, 2009 1:34 PM PDT


Brian Smith		 Message for René:

Many thanks for taking the trouble to reply. Thanks also for your reassurance.
There are also a few comments after yours that suggest it might be possible to use XP of Vista drivers.
I think I might try these and if I don't break it completely I'll let you know how I get on.

In the meantime, if you find a solution do let me know.

Thanks again.

May 20, 2009 3:39 PM PDT


Brian Smith		 D'you know, I think I've done it. I went to the Dell site > drivers > graphics and entered the tag code. It identified the model (Latitude D830) and because it came with ghastly Vista (32 bit) it offered me that driver.

It downloaded fine and went through the install process up to the point where it said my OS wasn't supported and exited unchanged.

So I went to the folder it downloaded into and ran setup.exe. At first it failed in the identical way so I did it again and something different happened and it installed. I don't know why.

Although I haven't actually run it yet, Second Life goes to the log-in screen so I reckon it will run.

So that's where we are at the moment. I'll give you an update tomorrow.
May 21, 2009 1:42 AM PDT


René		 k Brian, thats good, what should happends is that after u tried to install the driver, the windows update did hes work and find a window to run the exe (could b an option)...however, after all this hapend on ur comp i think second life will run, and if it runs now u dont have to worrie about the intel driver till this one appears for your comp...hope that your comp runs that because if runs that u can actually use your aero which i kinda cool because u gonna have a transparent folders and windows bar :) ...go to system in the pc doin right click over the white part of the folder and press in propeties, check your system evaluation of windows to see if your evaluation points upgrade to a new rank and if they did u luky man, i did try with my hp drivers from the webpage but nuttin happend, i mean, same story with the exe, dont let me run it, i tryed it with compatibility mode of xp and cannot :S but well i think i have to whait haha i just trying to make also a driver but is kinda hard to make it compatible for my hp dx2000mt pentium 4 with cpu 3ghz and 2.26 of ram...i work with many 3D programs, got to run them but some have troubles like 3Ds max and maya 3D :S the most important ones :( xD but well i working my proyects on my other comp by the moment, and let this one rrest only for msn and music production haha...

hope second life works now on ur comp and if not, we are one steep closser to get it, so ill whait for ur update...
May 21, 2009 9:22 AM PDT


ceeesquared		 @grizz, i also use 915, and it works fine. however, whenever i boot my laptop, there is a long black screen (about 10-15 secoinds) between the "starting windows" screen and log-in prompt. do you enocounter this problem too? i got the black screen after i installed the xp driver for 915.

May 23, 2009 8:21 PM PDT


doc		 After many hours of frustration I finally got full resolution (1280x768 for me) support in Windows 7 RC for the Intel 915 chipset in my Gateway CX2619 tablet pc. The driver that worked for me is the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Windows XP (version 14.25.50.4764). You have to install it in compatibility mode and then restart.

May 25, 2009 5:34 AM PDT


Grizz		 @ceeesquared, yes i too get the "black screen" but i just chalk it up as a minor annoyance.
May 25, 2009 12:08 PM PDT


Glen		 Are there drivers for intel d945gtp? I'm using the 7000 beta, 32 bit.
May 25, 2009 12:14 PM PDT


Byron		 I have a Lenovo (nee IBM) X41 that I put 7 on and was frustrated when the upgrade advisor told me it would download drivers for the video card, but would not.

How I got around it was by:

1. going to HP's website and downloading SP34749 which is a VISTA 32-Bit driver pack for an HP laptop with the Intel 915 graphics card.
May 25, 2009 12:18 PM PDT


Byron		 and 2. Updating the driver by pointing it to the directory the files expanded into.

However, even with the registry trick, Aero still does not work.

I am really sad at Intel's lack of movement with this issue. It would seem to me to be a small thing to write a driver for this chipset that is so in use around the world.

For those of us that prefer ultra light laptops, there are not many with battery sucking NVIDIA or ATI chipsets on them.
