Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller Driver Issues

[JBPapaSim]

Unfotunately, these drivers also didn't work on my Gateway 4540 laptop. I think the reason is that these are XP drivers and they just won't work under Win7. It seems unreasonable that no one is going to support this chipset with either Win7 or Vista drivers. The drivers did install, but they are not active as they report an error. The system defaults to the Standard VGA drivers that came with the Win7 Beta.

no, these drivers are actually from Windows Vista, as being ported from DriveMax, i assume. They are XDDM so yes in a way they are XP drivers, but hypothetically, they should work under Windows 7 since it is built off of Windows Vista. I am currently using those drivers and i have native resolution and full acceleration

I'm in agreement w/ JBPapaSim. They just don't work on my Fujitsu. I've had exactly the same experience as has he.

And, yes, it really is a shame that so many people may loose out on Win 7 with perfectly good (and sometimes, great) hardware because we cannot get a GSM845/855 driver that will give native resolution.

I have downloaded the XP version from Intel, extracted it with winrar, and then I went to Device Manager, right-clicked my VGA card, selected Update Driver, and I manully pointed to the extracted location.

Worked just fine...

Oh, and make sure you have set the maximum available memory usage for the vga in your BIOS.

Must be a difference in Chip Sets. Been there, done that! This driver does not work for the Fujitsu 7010D.

Ditto -just tried this on my Toshiba Tecra II. Still no joy.

It appears to work, then after a few seconds, it will flicker the screen then say "Your device is ready to use". Then it hows the same old same old.

I really wish there was a way around this.

this question is directed to anyone who actually has the driver installed, but do you notice the system is completely frozen when you try to use Aero Snap while running a video in WMP or even VLC player? i thought microsoft fixed this issue. the strange part is that when i first installed Win 7 (build 7048), it seemed as though it was fixed, not all of a sudden it does that. but if i do it to any other window that isn't running a video, it does what it supposed to do.

any thoughts?

still an issue in build 7068....!!!!! HP PAvilion ze4900 laptop...UPGRADED from build 7057...where it was an issue...

 

[boomtitty]

so im having the same problem... after searching for a while i came across this....
this tool will sign drivers for windows 7 so they can be used....but...
i havent had much luck with as of yet

check it out

same problem here with tecra m2v

This worked for my laptop: http://justendeal.com/driver/855gm_vista_driver.zip

But no chance of making Aero working (even when forcing).

Thank you. This worked for me on my Dell Latitude D400.

This worked for me as well on my Gateway 7320GZ laptop. But there is some strangeness. For instance, in the Device Manager, it lists two 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controllers. If I delete one (shouldn't there be just one?) it comes back on reboot.

This driver did not work when I first installed it. Then I went into Safe Mode to try installing it in there (tried this with all the other drivers mentioned here and it didn't work at all, so I didn't really expect any joy here either) but before I could do anything else, a window popped up at the Safe Mode desktop and said that the drivers were installed. When I checked the Device Manager listing, it showed these... and the VGA drivers were finally gone! I fully expected (because of all the failures in the previous attempts with Intel and Gateway drivers) this to all go away again and be back to standard VGA drivers when I booted in normal Windows mode.

But this wasn't the case. The screen came up without any warnings and the 82852 GME etc controller was still in the lineup. Next I played Solitaire and there was no warning that Hardware Accelleration was turned off! Hooray! I could only hear the cards being dealt before... and play was impossibly slow. Now all the screen savers (Bubbles!) work where they would not in under the standard VGA drivers. Real cool!

One odd thing... when the drivers were installed, I ran in 1200x800 mode just fine. But on reboot, the screen ducked down to 1024x768 as the highest mode. Odd... but I can live with it until and if something better emerges.

So, I've now got sound (using the XP sound drivers installed in XP compatibility from Gateway) and these video drivers working.

The only strangeness now on my little laptop when running Win7RC is that when I'm typing in a message window like the one used in this forum and my mouse pointer is in the window, the typing cursor sometimes randomly leaps to the location of the pointer! I've never seen this before in WinXP. If I remember to move the pointer out of the window, this does not occur.

Another oddity is that under Control Panel/System page, there is no report on my system's RAM amount. All the other info is there... just blank where it says "Installed Memory (RAM)". There are no (!) problems in Device Manager.

Under Monitor, it shows 3 Digital Displays... I have only one. Is this normal for it to show 3???

My laptop's specs are:

Gateway 7320GZ
Pentium 4 2.8GHz CPU
1GB RAM
250 GB WD HD (installed by me last weekend)
Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME video

Got it to work for my Gateway MX6030 ^^, just messing around seeing what functionality I have.
