Up til now I’ve been using the standard Intel driver for years but decided to try yours. It installed correctly and seemed to work well at first but soon I noticed problems. I had my laptop (Acer 5570z w/ GMA 950) set to extended desktop display mode, 1280×800 on laptop and 1680×1050 for external display. Just after installing the Sherry driver I was still able to use these settings, but then I put my laptop to sleep, and when I powered it on again the external display was using the wrong resolution, and when I tried to put it back to 1680×1050 the monitor gave me the message “out of range”. Also when I tried to clone display at 1280×768, laptop display was correct but external had very large black borders at the top and bottom.
Both of these things did not happen with standard Intel driver. Also, the Vista Experience index for gaming went from 2.6 to 2.2 with Sherry driver. So I did a system restore to before I installed the driver and everything is working correctly now. I appreciate that you put your time into this and release the driver at no charge, but I would not recommend this driver to anyone. I’m not trying to be rude, just wanted to provide you and other people reading with feedback.

I’m not sure what’s going on, but I’ve been trying for 3 hours to get this to work on my acer aspire one d250 to no avail. I even tried disabling the original driver which seemed to endlessly reinstall itself as well unless I did an update driver for it from the device manager. I had uninstalled all other software and drivers beforehand.
Here is what happens I restart my computer and then the screen just keeps blinking with black, loading part of the taskbar and background and then black screen again and I can’t even really move the mouse and it keeps on dissapearing when everything else does. I’m certain I downloaded the right 1.3 driver for win7 32bit.
What else do I need to do because right now I have completely given up hope of getting this dang thing to install on this netbook! And one quick check to intel’s site to try to see if I could find anything showed that I didn’t have the chipset drivers installed although I specifically remember running it when I downgraded from 8 and back to 7.
The update utility on the site showed that I didn’t have any version installed for some reason; p Would that have been my problem with getting this darn driver to function right and why I would have the issues I did? I’m a whee bummed out right now about wasting so much time when that mmay have been the problem, so hoping for a possible somewhat of an answer before putting any more time into this since it’s driving me nuts x.x That’s the ONLY thing I’ve found that seemed outta place so far x.x. Thanks for your work, it extends the usefullness of older computers, especially laptops, which is good for the environment. I use Windows XP, 7 and Apple Mac OS X 7.3 on a Toshiba Portege M400 tablet laptop. I installed your driver for Windows 7 and, so far, it works.
The Mac also has drivers (kext) for the GMA945/950 but, in OS X the gpu is limited to 64 MB of memory although, according to your work with the Windows 7 drivers, the GMA945/950 is capable of using much more memory. Would you be interested in doing the same for the OS X 10.7.3 drivers (kext files)? As well, the GMA945/950 will not be able to be used with OS X 10.8 which is a shame because it could except that Apple won’t provide the drivers but the drivers and framebuffers from previous versions of OS X should be able to be modified to work with OS X 10.8 as has been done with previous versions of OS X (For example, OS X 10.5 and 10.6 drivers and framebuffers modified to work with OS X 10.7). Thanks again for what you’ve done. Thanks for the excellent work you’ve done. Your driver has greatly improved performance on a few of my games. Driver version 1.3.1 is working great on Windows 8 Consumer Preview.

I had a minor problem setting it up, but I’ve got it working, and thought I’d share the procedure should it prove troublesome to someone else in the official release of Win8. You absolutely must make sure you disable automatic windows updates.

Letting it automatically check for updates is ok, just make sure it’s set to notify you, otherwise it won’t even tell you it’s installing the Intel driver from Microsoft, and you won’t know until your next reboot. Also, once you reboot it’ll keep using the MS’s generic driver regardless if you’ve uninstalled it or not. There’s no option to remove that driver software either. You have to open the device manager and open the properties for the display adapter, 3. Choose update driver, then select “browse my computer for driver software”, 4.
Choose “Let me pick from a list of installed device drivers on my computer”, 5. Choose the correct driver in the list 6. Once you do it’ll change drivers, and you’ll be prompted to reboot. It’ll be using the correct driver after you do. There was some mention of it in earlier posts. If it happens it happens, if it don’t, it won’t. It’s sometimes best not to push the issue.
For now, go to the intel san soldiers forum, they’ll probably have an idea or two how to get whatever it is you want to work, working, or even know of where else you can get a modded driver that’ll work for xp. If at all possible though, just upgrade your video card to something that isn’t intel. Yeah, I know, it’s not like they’re cheap or anything, but it’s better then sub-par graphics(which in my book, makes it worth the expense). If you’re on a laptop, and have a computer shop that does trade ins, DO IT, get something that has either an ati/nvidia chipset. Otherwise sit patiently and wait like everyone else. I apologize if it comes off as a bit rude, but posting multiple times, and then demanding a yes or no answer from someone who does this in what little spare time he has, in my opinion is a little rude as well.
