GMA 500 drivers causing issues in Windows 7
So, I installed Windows 7 RC today on my Dell Mini 10 and everything was smooth sailing.
At this point my only available resolution was 800x576.
Windows Updates picked up a couple of drivers, one being the Intel GMA 500 drivers. I installed the drivers and the system restarts.
The restart seems slow. I have about 45 seconds of a black screen and my cursor can be moved easily and then all of the sudden the login appears.
I login and the taskbar comes up, but the desktop is black. If I refresh the desktop my wallpaper returns and everything runs fine. The resolution at this point is 1024x576.
If I disable the driver I'm back to square one.
Anyone else experience this problem? Is there a better driver that I should be using? Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
