Driver Won't Install

[MrMayfield]

I used the latest intel thread to download the driver for my intel graphics card (My graphics Card is Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000)

I download it to the PC fine but when i try to install it it comes up with the message:

"The driver being installed is not validated for this computer. Please obtain the appropriate driver from the computer manufacturer
Setup will now exit."

My laptop specs are:
Model + Code: Samsung NP-3530EC-A0DOX
RAM: 6gb
Processor: Intel Core i5-2410m CPU @ 2.30GHZ
Graphics Card: Intel HD Graphics 3000

I would appreicate any answer as soon as possible
Thanks in advance

Hello MrMayfield, and welcome to Eight Forums.

You might give the Intel Driver Update Utility a try to see if it may be able to find the latest valid driver for your system instead.

Intel® Driver Update Utility

Hope this helps,

make sure it is digitally signed, if not win 8 will kick it out.

Well I looked up the Intel Driver Update Utility and my graphics driver says version 9.17.10.2828 is that the latest driver or is there something that i need to do?

Also what do you mean by digitally signed
sorry if i come across as a bit thick but i struggle to understand this stuff
