Issues installing Intel graphics drivers for Windows 8.1 64Bit in Kaby Lakelaptops

Hi everyone,

 

 

I recently bought a new laptop the DELL Inspirion 15.6 Intel i5 - 8gb memory - NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti - 256gb SSD . I was able to load windows 8.1 fine and was able to get the usb's and some drivers working. However when I try to install the NVIDIA Geforce drivers I get an error stating that I need to install the intel graphics drivers first. I tried doing that and since it is a 7th Gen Intel Core i5-7300HQ mobile processor, Intel drivers wont allow me to install them even through the device manager.

 

 

I have tried these steps:

https://communities.intel.com/thread/108407

 

 

But it didnt work. Maybe I am missing something or doing something wrong. Can anyone please help? I hate to have to return the laptop because I cannot use/stand windows 10 and its practices. I listed some specs on the bottom again.

How do I update my manufacturer custom driver?

I keep getting messages from a game I play that my graphics drivers are out of date, and I've used the intel driver update scanner only to be told that my manufacturer has installed a custom graphics driver. I went to their website and downloaded a bios package as well as something that I think was the updater. However, I am still getting the message and my graphics driver does not appear to have been updated at all as Dxdiag says the driver is still the version from May of last year. Here is the information from my DxDiag.

I have asked this before but the problem is still there, the latest drivers (4624) don`t support customized resolution for my Dell UltraSharp UP3214Q monitor. I Think the 4424 was the latest that worked, I now I must first install 4424 and make the customized resolution and then install the latest driver

Windows display update breaks HD Graphic 530 second video output

$

Hi,

 

I have installed 10 industrial PC with the following specs:

- ASRock IMB-191 with Intel HD Graphic 530

- Intel i5-6500TE CPU, 8 GB

- Windows 7 Pro 64-bits

 

The 1st PC video output is connected to the PC internal monitor with DisplayPort.

The 2nd PC video output is connected to a remote display with HDMI.

 

All the PC have been running fine with the 2 displays during a few months, but the customer recently complained that they lost the 2nd remote display on the 10 PC after installing a big batch of windows updates.

 

I suspect the following update from Windows Update:

Intel Corporation - Display - 12/10/2016 12:00:00 AM - 21.20.16.4565

 

The issue was solved after rolling back the video driver to the old version:

- "Old" driver working: 20.19.15.4300 (1/10/2015)

- "New" driver not working: 21.20.16.4565 (12/10/2016)

 

Even though this issue is solved for now, I would like to check if this issue is known by Intel, and if future WIndows graphics update will break or not the 2nd display again.

 

I enclose the Intel System Support Utility results.

 

Thank you,

Fabien

Add Vesa 1366x768 to GM45 on Dell Inspiron 1545 for CML/DOS ?

$

Hi Guys,

This is my first post, just joined today, looks interesting with a nice bunch of contributors.

 

I'm a keen user of an older DOS based CAD program (Protel) for electronic design

as I already have libraries, can update them, very fast, produces good output &

work fine under 32 bit XP on a reliable laptop which can dual boot to Win7 64 bit dual boot.

 

Laptop's native resolution 1366x768 is fine for windows but, there's no 1366x768 Vesa mode

for DOS based programs so the 1366x768 graphic driver which I can get for "Protel for DOS"

does not function, it only goes to 1024x768 with the aspect ratio out so circles appear as ovals.

 

The lfb.exe cml/dos program on this link shows all the modes (incl Vesa) the GM45 on my Dell has

in DOS mode:- Protel Autotrax video drivers   link can be found in string "the lfb tool inside DOSBox"

I don't need to run DOSBox as slow/messy & Xp-32bit will open a cml window with appropriate .pif and

there are corruption issues/delays using the Windows XP driver thats offered on the Airborn website.

 

ie. To run the vesa report program; d/l the .exe, virus check then open a cml/dos window & type lfb

or optionally pipe the output to a txt file as lfb > mine.txt

Then type exit to leave the cml closed

 

On my system the Vesa mode are as listed below but, doesn't show the laptop's

native 1366x768 at all, here it is:-

The Vesa mode I need is 183h for 1366x768.

 

I wondering if its possible to patch the relevant .inf in the graphic drivers for the

GM45 such that 183h appears with the correct attributes.

 

Is it possible there is a utility from intel or a spec which details the areas in

the .INF file or even a binary patch for any of the associated .DLL's so when

the cml (command line) switches in then mode 183h for 1366x768 matches

the Protel intrinsic driver ?

 

Looking forward to some ideas, regards

 

Mike Massen

 

Edit: I've just found this utility which may be useful as it can interrogate the

native lcd "monitor" in the laptop & might this data then be useful to patch

any of the .inf for the GM45 driver ?

Can't find the name of the Intel ICD OpenGL driver

I have an HP Envy 750-424 desktop with an Intel HD 530 graphics driver.  This morning Windows automatically updated the graphics driver, and Chrome stopped working with an OpenGL ES Error  dialog box stating "Can't find the name of the Intel ICD OpenGL driver."  I rolled back the driver from 21.20.16.4574 to 20.19.15.4454 and it fixed the issue.  However, I suspect Windows will keep automatically updating the driver and causing this issue (it happened once before, with a different version number, and I was able to fix it with System Restore, so it seems to be a recurring problem).  I have seen in other discussions that some drivers are provided by Intel and some are customized by manufacturers--is 21.20.16.4574 provided by Intel or by HP?  Is this a bug that will be addressed ina  future driver version?

 

Thanks,

We bought a Laptop Dell 7460 (i7) with Intel HD Graphics 620 and Nvidia GeForce 940mx.


The intel driver cause problems on Windows 10 (1703), as Crashes and many times alternating the Display between Black Screen and Desktop Image, sometimes resulting in Blue Screen Error (video_tdr_failure (igdkmd64.sys)).

 

We contacted the Dell Support, but they didn't offer a solution.

 

On Linux, Ubuntu (16.04), the problems happen too.

 

The Laptop just Works with the Driver Intel HD Graphics 620 disabled!

Graphics Driver Updates Breaking Windows Taskbar / Start Menu

Help!

I have a Dell XPS 8700 and through Windows Update it keeps installing Intel Graphics Driver (currently 20.19.15.4549)

 

Issue is, when it does, my start menu won't pop up anymore, nor can I right click anywhere on the menu bar (for example right clicking Word icon to see recent word documents), nor can I click the date/time to see the calendar, etc. As you can imagine it's pretty annoying.

 

To fix it, I have to go to Control Panel > Programs and Features and uninstall the Intel Graphics Driver. It's pretty annoying. I've tried disabling the update on Microsoft's side but that works until you release a new version. Then I have to re-disable the update and that's also a pain. (And Windows update is getting REALLY good at updating it after I uninstall. Like every night). If this can't be resolved I'll just have to look into turning off automatic updates.

 

I am using 3 monitors (1 HDMI, 1 DVI, and 1 DisplayPort) so I have Multidisplay enabled in the BIOS)

 

Here's the report from my Intel HD Graphics Control Panel:

Stretch the display on a TV

Hi,

I'm using a small computer attached to my TV via HDMI. When I first adjusted the resolution using the Intel(R) graphics control panel (couple of months ago), I remember having the possibility of stretching the display so it won't be cropped by my TV. It was in the display general settings section, next to the preview image. Lately, my settings has been reset, and it seems that this stretch function is not there any more. It is kind of annoying as I have some margins cropped now. Maybe someone can assist me in re-finding the stretch button? Thanks!

I use HP 8300 i7-3770 8G with windows 7_64, Virutal Machine + Genymotion are used to play the android games on the PC.

 

If I install the lastest version 4425 HD4000 driver from Hp or Intel, the screen graphic is flashed and cannot show the true picture when I play a game called "Little Empire" and jump to "training page" from main page.

 

If I install old verison 2639 HD4000 driver from  "Intel_GFX_Win7_64_8.15.10.2639_PV.exe", the screen graphic at the training page is ok without any problems, but the andrioid simulator on virutal machine will hang after running for 10-30 minutes.

 

What is the difference between HD4000 driver 2639 version and 4425 version ?  How to solve ? Please advice !

Use DVI out on an HDMI port (similarly to xrandr --set force-dvi on Linux)

On Linux, running

xrandr --output HDMI1 --set audio force-dvi

solves many issues on my eternal monitor. It fixes overscan, as well as increasing brightness to a reasonable level and significantly increases display clarity. The external monitor I am using has absolutely no configuration options, so that isn't an option. Is there a way to achieve similar results to the command above using the Intel Graphics Driver on Windows?

Add Vesa 1366x768 to GM45 on Dell Inspiron 1545 for CML/DOS ?

Hi Guys,

This is my first post, just joined today, looks interesting with a nice bunch of contributors.

 

I'm a keen user of an older DOS based CAD program (Protel) for electronic design

as I already have libraries, can update them, very fast, produces good output &

work fine under 32 bit XP on a reliable laptop which can dual boot to Win7 64 bit dual boot.

 

Laptop's native resolution 1366x768 is fine for windows but, there's no 1366x768 Vesa mode

for DOS based programs so the 1366x768 graphic driver which I can get for "Protel for DOS"

does not function, it only goes to 1024x768 with the aspect ratio out so circles appear as ovals.

 

The lfb.exe cml/dos program on this link shows all the modes (incl Vesa) the GM45 on my Dell has

in DOS mode:- Protel Autotrax video drivers   link can be found in string "the lfb tool inside DOSBox"

I don't need to run DOSBox as slow/messy & Xp-32bit will open a cml window with appropriate .pif and

there are corruption issues/delays using the Windows XP driver thats offered on the Airborn website.

 

ie. To run the vesa report program; d/l the .exe, virus check then open a cml/dos window & type lfb

or optionally pipe the output to a txt file as lfb > mine.txt

Then type exit to leave the cml closed

 

On my system the Vesa mode are as listed below but, doesn't show the laptop's

native 1366x768 at all, here it is:-

The Vesa mode I need is 183h for 1366x768.

 

I wondering if its possible to patch the relevant .inf in the graphic drivers for the

GM45 such that 183h appears with the correct attributes.

 

Is it possible there is a utility from intel or a spec which details the areas in

the .INF file or even a binary patch for any of the associated .DLL's so when

the cml (command line) switches in then mode 183h for 1366x768 matches

the Protel intrinsic driver ?

 

Looking forward to some ideas, regards

 

Mike Massen

 

Edit: I've just found this utility which may be useful as it can interrogate the

native lcd "monitor" in the laptop & might this data then be useful to patch

any of the .inf for the GM45 driver ?
