If you bother to read the OTHER thread on the 915 chipset, you'll see this is NOT a bug. The Intel 915 drivers are XPDM, not WDDM, and were not designed to work with Windows 8. Several of us are trying out various patches and approaches to see if we CAN get them to work witn Win8 -- but we've not been successful yet.

Keep watching the threads -- you'll see if we have any success.

Hi,

I have tried exactly whatever you said and it went for installation, everything get fine and I got 2 MOBILE INTEL 915GM/GMS,915GML EXPRESS CHIPSET FAMILY but still ! is there and it has been not properly working.

Kindly let me know in this there if there is any other solution for it.

Thanks in advanced

Installed certificate, then driver. It now sees the graphics with the yellow "!" but honestly I don't care. I wanted my resolution back 1280x800. For all intents and purposes, this fix worked for me. Thank you for the hard effort.

Fix Intel 910

Have successfully loaded this on a Asus 701ee (Intel GMA 910/915) with Windows 7 installed. It's not straight forward. Firstly install Driver Max (freeware) With driver max installed , search for unrecognised hardware or updates. Install Intel drivers with drivermax with your VGA connected to second monitor. Restart. Search through Device Manager, you should find still an unrecognised device, click right and press update driver, click on search through list of devices option, choose intel gma 910/915 function..;there are 2 functions, it will be either 1 or 0 - the other function will already be installed for standard native display.You will Now be able to get second monitor working; however, to use 1st native monitor uninstall second function or use safe mode(native display settings). You can only use one or the other. If you try to switch in Display settings it will just crash. I just use Safe Mode with networking for native display OR Normal start up for second bigger monitor. With the second monitor installed you can change the resolution to full HD - great ! I have used turbo boost with advanced system care to improve video playback performance. This should probably work with Windows 8 also. This is as on Asus 710ee PC . Disclaimer - follow advice at your own risk. If this doesn't work there is a couple of alternative ways which might work posted on You Tube.

This should probably work with Windows 8 also.

Just HOW MANY TIMES do we have to tell folks here that there is NO Intel 915GM chipset video driver that will work with Windows 8 -- PERIOD!

The Intel drivers are XPDM -- meaning, they are XP drivers that were ported to Vista -- and they will NOT work in Win8 because MS REMOVED XPDM support from Win8. No amount of hacking is going to get that back.

What you get in Win8 for this chipet is the generic VGA drivers -- and that is all there is.

 

[Optizap]

To Mark Phelps. Well if that is so, just stick with Windows 7 and wait for the 8 app store add on to come out for Windows 7 which is inevitable. You have to admit you cant blame anyone in thinking it would work on 8 as it looks exactly like 7 apart from the app store and that most things that install on 7 also install on 8. I personally prefer Windows 7.

 

[Optizap]

I don't think I have enough space on my Asus 701eeePC for an upgrade to 8. I just managed to scrape 7 onto my 8 GB SSD. I had to delete the hibernate file and use Wise Cleaner to trim to get about 1.5 GB free space back.

I was wondering has anyone tried installing the Intel 910/915 on 7 and then tried an upgrade install to 8, maybe it would keep the driver - as the best driver is already installed - and the support 7 has for XPDM drivers. I was also wondering what the upgrade assistant says ?

 

[MrShowdown]

with the release of W8, the demand to Intel to make a WDDM driver is seemingly higher...

I posted my comments because folks need to know that there is NOT going to be any "fix" for this with Win8. Intel announced some time back that the 915-series driver would NOT be updated for Win7 -- so, it's very unlikely that they NOW would reverse themselves and rewrite the driver for Win8.

I don't have a problem with this limitation as I would not waste the time trying to upgrade the old XP-era laptop to Win8 (the one using the Intel 915GM chipset).

 

[Optizap]

To Mark Phelps, I agree upgrading to 8 is a waste of time; sticking with 7 together with the free chrome web app store is far preferable.
However, I am curious to know how an 8 upgrade from 7 would deal with legacy drivers already installed on 7 ?

I obviously can't answer for drivers in general, but when I did this on the tablet PC (the one with the 915GM chipset), it replaced the XPDM drivers with the Windows Basic driver -- and I lost the features that were present with the old Intel driver. In other cases where it found a replacement Win8 driver, it installed those drivers; in cases where it did not, it installed nothing -- the Win7 driver was not retained. Fortunately, I made a point of exporting the Win7 drivers so I could recover them -- so I went through Device Manager and reinstalled the drivers where they were missing.

In the case of the video driver, since there really is no Win8 "Intel" driver, MS replaced it with what it does in general -- uses the Windows Basic driver.

 

[Optizap]

To Mark Phelps: Agreed Intel 910 is a Non starter for Windows 8. It might be the subject of another thread, but I was wondering can you get Licensed Windows 8 for £24 if you install it as an upgrade on top of an Evaluation copy of 7(30 days to activate), or does it only give you that discount if 7 has already been activated and paid for ?

Please can someone post an update to this driver. I installed ver 2 (in this thread), but it still wont install completely, as device manager gives it a little ! mark, and I can't change the resolution or connect to a second monitor.

If your using 8 it wont work. If using 7 try installing with second monitor connnected. If the ! mark is an unrecognised device click on update driver and then go to pick from list. Try Intel GMA function 1 or 0 drivers. If you have done it correct your device manager should show intel gma function 0 and intel gma function 1 under display adapter - uninstall any other exclamation mark drivers under this.. It is not possible to change the resolution on your netbook monitor with this driver; however, you should be able to change the resolution on your second monitor through advanced option and then list all modes. It can only use one screen or the other but not both at once and will crash if you try switching monitors in settings. To get round this I use safemode with networking for using netbook monitor only and normal boot for second monitor only. I got latest drivers through drivermax which is free for 2 drivers a day. If you want it fully working you have to have XP installed instead with official drivers. For some reason, XP on mine wouldnt respond to keyboard so I had to scrape an install of 7 on or throw it in the bin. This is as for ASUS 701 eeePC and may or may not be relevenet to you machine, hope it helps.

 

[Tman312]

I have windows 8. Is it possible to use an external video card. Will that work?

 

[Optizap]

Depends on your machine. If you have a PCI-Express Slot or AGP slot or PCMI card slot and a suitable video card.

 

[Tman312]

I was thinking something like this
Amazon.com: StarTech.com USB to VGA External Video Card Multi Monitor Adapter - 1920x1200 - USB to VGA External Graphics Card: Electronics
I already have a vga port on my laptop, but it won't work because of the graphics card, so will this work. ( I am trying to connect to a tv, and clone the screen)
