    Video Display Adapter Problem
    « on: September 03, 2010, 06:09:23 PM »
    I have been having a problem with a flickering screen. Somebody on a help forum suggested uninstalling the display adapter then rebooting so that Windows would re-install it. I did this, but when I rebooted it the adapter wasn't re-installed, instead I found that I had the Standard VGA Graphics Adapter. My computer is now very slow and the display is blocky and the icons and text very large.

    How can I re-install my adapter (Intel (R) GMA 946GZ Express Chipset Family)? I have googled the adaptor but so far have not had much luck.

    As you can see, wrong advice. Windows will install only generic driver.

      I eventually was able to download the display adapter driver and all in now well. Having downloaded the driver I no longer suffer from a flickering screen and Age of Emperors does not drop out.
