Windows 7 - video drivers intel 82852

**windowsfree** · 03-04-2010

Are there any drivers for this chipset to have at least the screensavers work in Windows 7?

Hi windowsfree,

This is from Intel's website:

Quote:

The Microsoft Windows 7* operating system (OS) supports two different graphics driver models: the Windows* Display Driver Model (WDDM 1.0 & 1.1) and the older Windows* XP Driver Model (XPDM). WDDM drivers provide the 3D graphical user interface experience to users. XPDM drivers provide an interface that visually resembles the Windows XP user interface and do not support Windows 7 OS premium features such as the Microsoft Aero* user interface.

Only XPDM drivers** are available for the following older Intel® graphics controllers:

Mobile Intel® 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset Family
Intel® 82915G/82910GL Express Chipset Family
Intel® 82865G Graphics Controller
Intel® 82852/82855 Graphics Controller
Intel® 82845G Graphics Controller
Intel® 82830M Graphics Controller
Intel® 82815 Graphics Controller
Intel® 82810 Graphics Controller

Doesn't look like it, sorry :/
EDIT: I apologize, I didn't realize you were only asking about screensavers. I didn't think they depended on Aero but if they're not working for you then I may be wrong...

Cheers,

No problem, thanks for the reply. I spent a few hours researching and always come up with the same answer. It is amazing how drivers work.
If you click the word LINK, you will see what I am doing with the same hardware -using Ubuntu Linux
Thanks again

That's what a community is for. A corporate entity on the other hand defines its priorities differently.
