    Wrong VGA driver - can't find the correct


    I got a brand new 10" laptop 'Crazy Fire'. Preinstalled lots of chinese software, but all graphic elements showd properly. Even as administrator, I could not remove softwre. Did install Win7 utimate, 64 bits. Only two resolutions available, 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768. Graphic elements shows as ovals. The card is oem, with no description except 'standard vga card'. Tried two of the driver portals, after paying I downloaded the appropriate driver and installed. Rebooting gave blue screen.

    Any tip for finding the right driver?

    The Driver you need is in the Link below ..

    But it is only for 32 Bit OS .. I do not think there is a 64 Bit Driver available ..


    Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3600 Series


    I will keep searching as that one i Posted will not work on your OS

    Thanks. I also tried the find driver function from Intels home page - but only getting error message.

    I might suspect the installed OS was Win7 Enterprise, but 32 bits version. I do not have any 32 bits version of win7 so I guess I have to wait and continue searching. Really appreciate your help.

    Thanks. Guess I have the choise of buying a 32 bit version of win7, or live with the dodgy graphics. Guess if Intel not has the driver, nobody else has it either
