    windows 7 video graphics card problem ...
    « on: April 11, 2009, 04:54:31 AM »
    I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate (Build 7000) on an lenovo pc (Intel Pentium 4 - 2.8GHz, 2.00 GB RAM).  my pc's actual graphics card is "Intel 82865G Graphics Controller" but windows 7 loads it as "standard VGA graphics card" which gives me a very bad video quality. howerver when i updated video graphics back to my "Intel 82865G Graphics Controller" & play any video or any desktop activity, computer hangs.

    I keep having hard locks when using various software mostly involving video.

    i tried changing carious 3d settings in opengl as well.

    but one thing i've noticed is windows 7 comes preloaded with direct3D but my graphics card is directx 9 . do u think theres a conflict ther?

    Does anyone please please help me out of this??

    Isn't "Windows 7" still in beta? I didn't know they had an "Ultimate" version out already.

        Try getting a hold of windows and telling them your problum or try to find a driver for vista and install it because it is just upgraded vista.
        Hope this helps. :)
        1 day I will get a faster computer.

        Since it is just a "Beta" version of an OS there may not be a driver for your video card. You might have to contact Microsoft and see if they have a driver for it.

        Did you get Windows 7 from Microsoft or did you down load it some where else?

        The one version of Windows 7 BETA is Ultimate. I hope they drop the Ultimate/Premium/Basic stuff...
        Though, actually Basic isnt a bad thing, a new OS without the eye candy... runs fast too.
