Solve : video card drivers?

Answer»

Hey guys I just installed windows 7 on one of my computers and I only have 480x640 resolution. I have a 82845g intel video card and I need drivers that are compatible for windows 7, can someone help me with this..........thanks.....two-dogs This should be in the drivers section but no one is really that picky 'round here

Went to the Intel driver section with that card and it doesnt look like a driver for windows 7 and that card exists.

Here is a similar question and discussion I found on the topic

They seem to think if you use the XP driver in compatability mode you can get the driver to install, some on there say you can some say you can't

Give it a shot if you don't wanna go but a new card, which I would suggest....Yep looks like I am going to upgrade my card now, just bought one off of NEWEGG ...........thanks......two-dogsFrom here:

There's an XP driver you can use with limited FUNCTIONALITY, but that probably would have gotten annoying eventually. Buying a new card is probably the better choice. The Intel video chipsets aren't all that great anyway.i am currantly running the 8245G intel ... with the windows 7 compatability mode. some aero , shake, peek, and ... any way after running compatability i got that "advanced care free 4 " to get the aero working. one of the many tools in tool box has the ABILITY to enable things or reset ..... etc. . i still hunt a PCI (not pcie or /express ) interface card usable with the windows 7. it all goes to show companies are not all about the customer as much as they would like us all to believe.


some of you should read a little Gandi . (no pun intended)PCI video cards are olddddd.
