Windows 7: Installing video driver for Intel 855 Centrino Chipset

miketowninc · 23 Feb 2009

Does anyone know if these drivers MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service are the correct ones? The first post's rapidshare link has no more slots available.

After talking with Intel, they are not going to produce a driver. They have declared the 8xx series unsupported for 7.

Looks like that is it folks

Anyone know how to hack together something that works? I'm out of ideas.

THANKS SO MUCH!!! The files from Post #8 got my Gateway 855-based laptop working great. I dunno about OpenGL, but for 2-D stuff it's fine. I now get the natvive 1280x800 res for my screen, and that's really what matters.

I went from a 1.0 to a WE 1.9 score with the change in drivers from stock VGA to this. Still a 1.0 for 3D, but that's fine. This is a Celeron-M 1.5 Ghz and it never did 3D.

2.drag cmd prompt on to the desktop . start run as adminitrator >type Bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks ON
3.u can check in dxdiag>display for conformation

Thank you very very much. This method works %100. Ive registered just to let all Dell 700m users to know it works.

I have Dell 700m 1.2Gb Memory Windows 7 build 7077

Amazingly enough, it's working!!! Using the old Win2000 drivers from 2003 provided in the previous post. I did have to do some interesting things, like a few safe mode boots, attaching an external screen, etc to get it to stick.

But I'm 1 week of using 7100 on my Dell 700m and it's amazing!!!

Does the problem continued by RC?

Anyone test it?

BigJimmy · 06 May 2009

I tried this again with build 7100 and the drivers install but then they come up with an error on reboot even after disabling integrity checks.

Brad · 06 May 2009

I know this is weird, but it's worked twice for my 700m. Attach a monitor to the VGA port and get the drivers to install again and reboot (don't tell Windows to extend to the monitor, just have it connected). That should get you the correct screen resolution.

Either there is something weird about having that connection, or I have a wacky laptop :)

BigJimmy · 07 May 2009

OK thanks Brad. I'll try it.
