Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family

Hello,

I am using the Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family
and Windows 7.Everything is installed correctly, updated and so on.

Unfortunately, the computer freezes while I starting a video clip (Windows Media Player or other players, doe not matter).

If I am using the VGA driver (not recommend), it is working but the bubble screen saver is not.

Does anybody uses the same Intel Chipset? What is your experience?

Thanks,

DIDDL

Are you using the drivers from MS, or the ones from Intel's site? (http://downloadcenter.intel.com/default.aspx)

Have you tried lowering the hardware acceleration as a temporary workaround? That might do the trick for now.

Hi Ian,

Thank, yes I have downloaded the Intel driver.

I changed the acceleration settings and now I can play videos. It was difficult to find the settings.

Thank you very much.

Thanks,

Hi, I am having the same problem and was wondering where you found the correct driver for Win 7? I keep trying the drivers from Intel's site and I keep getting either "not supported version of windows" or the driver doesn't need to be updated. A link to the correct download would be helpful.

Thanks,
Justin

Did you try changing the acceleration settings, as I think that's what worked for the poster above? (not ideal, but a temporary solution until Intel update their drivers for W7)

Hello japorter1983,

I have downloaded the version from Intel. However, W7 will install the driver automatically.

Please disable the hardware acceleration and everything will work fine. It is just a temporary solution but working. Maybe not all videos are running smoothly but it is better than no videos!

Hey Guys,

Just installed Windows 7 and experiencing a few problems with video playback. the video starts to lag and freezes.

I read the post above about the graphics acceleration settings thought I'd give that a go but i can't seem to find the settings.

Can anyone tell me how to get to those settings please?
Thanks

Hello and welcome 00hg!

Try right clicking your desktop > Screen Resolution > Advanced Settings > Troubleshoot > Change Settings

You should then see a slider to adjust the graphics hardware acceleration

I just ran the Windows update and it solved the problem.

Thanks anyway for reply

there were no drivers listed for vista or win7 on that site. only XP 2k and *nix...
