GMA 500 drivers causing issues in Windows 7

[Utizzle]

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!

Utizzle,
Have you checked the Windows System Log or Application log to see if there is a possible explanation?

Hey Rajin, I apologize for my ignorance, but where would I find my system or application log and what am I looking for to identify the situation?

Strangely enough, my start up seems to have normalized, but I'm still getting the issue with desktop.

Thanks again for the help.

Hi Utizzle,
If you right click on the "MY Computer" icon then click on Manage. Then click on Logs. I think you will find it in there. I don't have Windows 7 infront of me of this writing. Sorry
