Win 7 Driver for Dell 2350 Brookdale-G Integrated VGA  

Hi all, I have a DEL 2350 that I purchased in 2003. I recently up graded to Windows7 and for the most part it works well. The problem is the integrated Video Graphics Brookdale-G Graphics Chip Eccelerated VGA Bios.

Any one have any experience upgrading this machine to Windows 7. I get 1024X768 but only 256 colors

Help please i really don't want do downgrade to XP

SASGeek, welcome to the forums.

That chipset is also known as the Intel 845GL,

which does not now and never will have Windows 7 support, due to its age and the lack of the hardware in it necessary for Windows 7. That isn't to say that some haven't got it to work. From this thread,

it seems the last XP will work for it in Windows 7, just won't get Aero or any of the other new effects.
