Win 7 freezes due to video card?
Hi.
After reviewing videos of windows 7. I decided to make a test run of it.
Downloaded and installed without any problems (a big wow, since this desktop didn't like Vista at all).
It's quite a old computer, eMachines T2385, 2.3 GHZ Intel Celeron, 1GB RAM, 80GB HDD. With the Intel 82845GL graphics card.
Since the install, 7 was on VGA_SAVE driver. I installed the driver with xp support, no luck, after 2 minutes it freezes completely. Remove and installed with the .inf file only, same problem. Left the VGA_SAVE driver, and it freezes too. TO add, I disabled the 3D acceleration. But no luck.
Any suggestions of installing another driver? OR I'm out of luck with 7?
I'm thinking of installing 7 on my Laptop (Intel 1.4GHz Celeron M , 1GB RAM, 120GB HDD with the intel 915/910GM video card) but I don't know if this problem will repeat....
