Driver Download for Intel 82945G Chipset Family - Problems

Were you able to load the Intel drivers from Safe Mode?
Were you able while in Safe mode to change your desktop resolution to one
that your display will accept when you boot in normal mode?

Curious, thanks for help.

When I finally got into Safe Mode, I disabled and uninstalled the adaptor
and drivers and tried downloading from Intel. Got the usual message drivers
not validated for this computer when I tried to install them. Then got the
old drivers from HP and loaded them. My wife wanted her computer.

Went to Windows Update Catalog, this is not the same as Windows Update, and
got drivers from there. Have not done anything with them yet. I am tired.
Been playing with this computer since 7:30 this morning. Will proably try
again tomorrow.

Again thanks for help. Will post any further developments. DLS

I suggest that you contact Compaq support and have them provide you the
latest drivers. Check their Website first they have them available there.

HP-Compag worse than MS. Usually have updates 1-2 months after MS does.

HP-Compaq still has Ver. 7.14.10.1322 release date 09-21-07( Intel release
April, 2007).
MS has Ver. 7.14.10.1364 release date 01-26-08( Intel release Otober, 2007).
Not sure when Ver 7.14.10.1500 was released, but think was July.
Intel newest Ver.7.14.10.1409 was released 01-10-08.

HP writes them both. HP provides the ones from MS. MS doesn't write the
device drivers.

Richard, Dwarf, Colin, Curious.
Thanks for help. Drivers are installed and working.

1. Downloaded and saved file WinVista 1573.exe from MS
2. Restarted in Safe Mode.
3. Ran file and installed drivers.
4. Right clicked Desktop and clicked Personalize in popup menu. Then selected
Display Settings.
5. Resolution was at 1440x900. In Advanced Settings, List All Modes,
1440x900,
32-bit, @60 HZ was selected. My monitor only supports
1440x900,32-bit,@78 HZ.
6. Changed to Resolution to 1024x768 and selected 1024x768,32-bit, 60 HZ.
Which
was my original setting.
8. Restarted and everything works fine.

Don't know why Resolution and Mode was changed.
If I remember correctly the Update just download and install without an
option to save and install later. Hopefully, noone else wiil have use their
Recovery Discs and spend 6 hours runnig Repair Startup Files.

Lesson learned: Do Updates in Safe Mode with Internet Connection and check
Display Settinge after Video Driver installs.

Again thanks. DLS
