    Integrated Graphics Card Not Recognized


    The computer I'm using is an HP Pavilion a720n. I've never really seen the need to upgrade, so it's using the came-with I believe 56MB Integrated Graphics Card.

    The problem is that the Windows 7 Beta (public version) doesn't seem to recognize the integrated graphics card, and when I check DXDiag, instead shows me "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter", which I assume is it telling me that I have no graphics card, but a slot for one.

    It was working fine with XP, though. Anybody know how to fix this?

    Via/S3G UniChrome IGP Driver Update

    You cold try it in compatibility mode, but I doubt it'll work.

    Thanks for the link, but after I try to install it it says "Update is not applicable for this PC.", which I assume means that it won't install in Windows 7.

    I'd try to run it in Compatability Mode, but for some reason -anything- I try to run in Compatability mode makes it give me the "___ has stopped working, looking for a solution" error.

    You could try unpacking the install files and manually installing the INF but again; long shot. It's really old and it doesn't look like they even bothered to update the drivers.
