Lexxion,

Just wanted to thank you again. You have gone above and beyond with helping people here who were suffering with Intel video chips that Windows 7 didn't like.

No problem, LarryV :)

I'm trying my best.

Few things you can try:

1. Reinstall video drivers ( follow my procedure again ). Make sure to uninstall current drivers.
2. Change Power setttings (Got to control panel. There should be something about power there etc)
3. Try this app ( do not know if Windows 7 is supported )
Slick Solutions - MCE Standby Tool (MST)

I do not have a definite solution to this problem as I did not experience it.

As to power settings there is "Power Saver" option as opposed to "Balanced". You can try to switch it and see if there is any difference.

no solution..
i reinstalled the driver but the screen the problem is the same.
in power settings i configure to don't go to sleep.
and i tryied the app but don't seems to work or don't understand.

it's weired

@wolfydog : same laptop , same issue .
it's a nightmare ... if you have a solution just tell me.

did you try MST ?

Marciton and wolfydog,

I was just thinking. Do you guys use any bootloaders or bios patches for Windows 7?

I am running my Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit RTM without any bootloaders or bios patches and everything works.

Just a thought.

Hi.
I don't think so...
i used

"Windows 7 Ultimate PT-PT-OEM-Pre-Activaded)" not RTM...
this is the final. It is the instalation of the Laptops or notebooks. It is OEM

for me I'm sure , it's my official MSDN version

OP should update the first post and list the Lexxion solution as the primary solution. The DriverMax solution is half-baked.

With W7 being released tomorrow, this thread is going to be hit on soon on a large scale.

lexxion please help!

during step 3

Second command you do is:

cacls c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys /G peter:F


i recieve the following error: invalid parameter "/g"

i am using icacls because cacls doesnt work
