    I Need This Graphics Driver!

    I just finally installed Windows XP on my new 500GB HDD for the 2nd time. I had problems installing it the first time. I've installed all the drivers I got from SONY's web site but the Graphics driver isn't working. When I look at my screen. It's just a scare that is like 1/4 of my monitor and the rest of the screen is black. I always have problems installing Graphics driver I don't know why.

    I have SONY VAIO VGN-NR260D with Windows XP: Home 2002 SP2. I installed the Sony chipset driver and the Graphics Media Accelerator Driver.

    My Graphics card is Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family.

    Last time I installed Windows on this HDD, I can never find the driver online, every site I go to doesn't have the file or the site is unavailable. So I got Intel's site and download it. I download the the EXE file type and it says it's not compatible with my system even though that I selected my correct OS. I download the zip file type and click the install file. It seems to work beucse I didn't get an error. I restart my laptop and got an error the System32 was missing or something so I finally reinstalled Windows again. Theres why I'm avoiding downloading from Intel's site.

    Someone sent me the driver but it didn't work either. I notice that it says HP on it.

    Does anyone know where I can get the drive (Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family) for Sony VAIO laptop
    Sony VAIO VGN-NR260D.

    My OS is Windows XP Home Edition 2002

    Edit: I took the risk of downloading the zip file from Intel's site again. I works!

    Graphics Drivers

    According to Sony's Web site, you need two graphics drivers.

    Intel Chipset driver and Intel Graphics Media Accelorator driver.

    You may also need the Microsoft Direct X drivers. I believe version 9 is the highest version for XP.

    Good luck!

    Windows? Try opening the properties of your video card and let the computer find the driver for you..but of course you need to be connected to the internet for this to work.

    If you cannot resolve this drivers issue and this laptop is not your primary computer, consider switching over to Linux. All of the drivers are built into the operating system, so there's no need to go hunting for drivers like you do with Windows.
