Thread: Video compatibility for Intel 852GM/852GME/855GM/855GME

Hi,

From Installing video driver for Intel 855 Centrino Chipset - Windows 7 Forums :

1) downloading latest drivers (v14.19.50) for XP from Intel's site and extracting them to a separate folder
2) booting W7 in the safe mode
3) Device Manager -> Video Adapter (VGA compatible) -> Properties
4) Driver -> Update driver -> Browse -> Let me pick -> Display adapters -> Have disk -> give path to \"win2000\" folder of the extracted driver
5) After you get error about driver installation, in Device Manager click on \"Scan for new hardware\"
6) Boot your W7 in \"Disable driver signing enforcement\" mode

If you follow those instructions carefully it'll work (worked for me).

I got it working (sort of), but not really… Interesting that this didn't work initially.

I tried it several different times, always having "Video Controller" and "Video Controller (VGA Compatible)" sitting in Device Manager unable to initialize.

Instead of trying it again in Safe Mode after about the third time, I did the installation after booting under "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" mode. Again, this looked like it failed, screen goes black, and I hear the noise that a device is being unplugged and plugged back in four or five times while staring at a black screen.

I remote desktop into the laptop to initiate a restart, but then I disconnect because I see the screen has come back in the right resolution. I am able to use Windows 7 using the right graphics driver, according to device manager. Screen looks good.

I restart again, hit F8, Disable Driver Signature Enforcement… guess what..

Still using Standard VGA Adapter again. Windows 7 is trying to install Video Controller and Video Controller (VGA Compatible) again… both failed. No driver found.

Windows 7 does not like these drivers, but you can get it working on a temporary basis by RDC’ing into the computer during the installation in Driver Signature Enforcement mode. You can just never reboot the machine again using these drivers!

Interestingly, when the device is working properly it shows this message:

Intel(R) 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller
Device Status
"This device is working properly.

The drivers for this device will be uninstalled when the machine is restarted. Any changes you make to this device will not be preserved.

You need to restart your computer before the changes you made to this device will take effect."

My install is working ok, but it was hard to make it work.

Try changing the driver in the Display Drivers section (not on the unknown devices) and also try setting this (you need an elevated prompt for this start > cmd (CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER)):

bcdedit /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

I have the exact same issue with a 700m here with beta 1. I find that after the latest XP drivers installs, it shows up correctly in device manager, but on reboot it will boot fine in 800x600 and I can log in, but then it says "installing drivers", and the screen turns black. I can usually get my screen back by waiting a few seconds, then holding the fn + LCD/CRT key. If that doesn't work pressing ctl alt del and then fn + crt/lcd works. I find that video performance is alright, but 1280x800 resolution is impossible with the standard vga driver. I'd be happy with just getting the 1280x800 resolution, it performs fine without the proper drivers.

I'm running build 7000 on a Fujitsu Stylistic ST5020D slate... It uses the 855 graphics chip. 7 runs great, the only problem I'm having is with the graphics. I have tried the method above with no success. I'm ok with the basic VGA driver's resolution but I am unable to get my tablet to go into portrait mode. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

On a side note, I'm also unable to get the computer to enter sleep mode, I think this is due to the video driver not supporting it.
