    Faladu, total ram is 6 gb, and I am trying to run fable 3. Until I installed AVG (I suspect the time stamping infected Kaspersky as well) I was not able to play most FB games or Wild Tangent games. You are right, the native monitor runs smoothly until I try to run any other graphics intensive games or render machines. You are right on the hardware limitation. Thank you for the very insightful information about time stamps. I did not think that time stamping was so integral.

    Now I have to find a way to completely remove the driver, and not allows windows to install it again, and do a slim install. Then maybe able to let intel do the install and updating. I suspect windows installer is behaving inappropriately when it comes to installing this specific driver.

    bobafetthotmail the laptop has an i3 Core. Also, windows installs this corrupted driver after a reboot. I forget how to stop that. In the services? Custom boot?

    if the driver comes from windows update, this is the tutorial

    If not, when you uninstall the driver, tick the box about deleting the driver files. Repeat that until all drivers have been deleted and only the windows generic driver is left (you cannot delete it, so don't worry).

    If not, then you need to find the folder it used to place its backups into and delete it (better just move it to an external drive in case you didn't catch the right one), then uninstall the driver from that panel again. Should be inside C: and clearly labeleld as INTEL or something like that, then it should contain files and and a setup to install the drivers (you can try running it to see if it is the right folder).

    Or try to rollback drivers (again the same panel) and hope it rolls back to Windows generic video drivers (you notice this as the screen resolution becomes crappy), then install the drivers from a better source (Intel's website own installer).

    Well, I went into the system information and wrote down all the drivers (.dll), and a .sys file in the system32 folder, deleted them and Intel was able to find the graphics card, so that is a big step forward. I have to go to bed so I will update tomorrow.
