Hi Dan,

Assuming that you haven't made a typo in your post, the date of your video
driver (01/23/2007) indicates that this is an old driver and there should be
a much newer one available from Gateway and certainly directly from Intel
themselves. A little bit more information, please. What is the model of your
PC?

thanx Dwarf,
-- Model: Gateway MX8711 Notebook but...

But...i went back and sure enough, Gateway has a different date on its site:
[D20041-002-002.exe - Windows Vista (32-bit) Video Driver Version: Intel
7.14.10.1147 Supports: Windows Vista (32-bit)
Note: This file contains the Windows Vista 32-bit video driver for the
computer models and components listed below.
4/24/2007]

the problem was that in their auto-generated install instructions [which i
was left with] has the old date that you picked up on. [File Description:
Windows Vista (32-bit) Video Driver
Version: Intel 7.14.10.1147
Operating System: Microsoft(r) Windows(r) Vista (32-bit)
Part Number: D20041-002-001
Date: 01/23/2007] 6,555 KB

so its fair to assume that gateway did not bother to change the instruction
sheet to reflect this new date?. you would think something this important
would be addressed. Incredible.

Dan

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the reply. I rather think that the old instructions also apply to
the newer driver, so they didn't feel the need to update them. However, armed
with the details that you gave me of the model number, I am pleased to inform
you that there is an updated driver available from Intel, version 15.7.3
dated 1/10/2008. I enclose a direct link to the relevant download. Please
note that I recommend that you save the download and create a restore point
prior to installing the driver.

I followed the link and I completed all of the instructions. I found the
exact driver.
[Mobile Intel(R) 945GM Express Chipset Family]. all instructions went
perfectly well and appears where its supposed to and is present in C:caps
file. At the very end after the install I received the following message. Any
ideas?

[The drive being installed is not validated for this computer. Please obtain
the appropriate drive from the manufacture.]

Hi Dan,

As long as the driver is working satisfactorily and you are having no
problems with it there should be no need to worry. This message is the
equivalent of the Microsoft one saying that a driver hasn't been signed.
Since the driver is such a recent one, it is quite possible that Gateway
haven't yet validated it.
