Windows* 7 Driver (32-bit) - Version 1091 - Intel® GMA 3600

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:51:43 GMT

Hello again everyone. Following in the same spirit as the last Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3600 driver feedback thread, I'm making a new one to announce our latest driver release. Version 1091 just went live today, and I would again like to ask everyone to provide constructive feedback on it.

The link to the download is here; Download Center

The same rules apply for this thread as did apply for the last one. This thread is dedicated specifically to this driver and the feedback for this driver. This thread is not a discussion place for Windows* 8 GMA 3600 driver questions/complaints, nor is it for Windows* 7 GMA (64-bit) driver requests/complaints. Any such comments will be promptly deleted. However, please feel free to use any of the already-existing threads of that topic to discuss and provide feedback there.

Along with the feedback, if there are any new issues that resulted from the new driver, please provide detailed information on where you saw them, how it happened, and what steps to reproduce.

Thank you,

Intel® HD GFX 4000/2500 drivers keep uninstalling

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 24 May 2013 23:05:37 GMT

Hello,

I have an Alienware MX17-R4 with a third Gen i7 processor. Every time I restart my computer my drivers uninstall and I am forced to reinstall them. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone have a solution that has worked to prevent this? Any help would be great.

Wireless Display for Latitude 10 Tablet

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 23 May 2013 18:31:45 GMT

I have an iogear GUWAVKIT4 wireless 1080p display kit.

The software loads on the tablet, and then wants to reboot, if I don't reboot

I get no display to my projector, but when I do reboot the system hangs, and after 3

times trying to reboot it does a system restore.

I installed the same unit and software on a laptop that was well below specs

and it worked.

So my question is, is it a graphics problem, or software?

HD 4000 reverts to 1024 X 768 when using KVM

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 17 Sep 2012 15:42:17 GMT

op I am using a Sony 32" TV as my monitor on my "New" MSI Z77A-GD65/Core i5-3570K/16GB build via HD4000 graphics, connected via the VGA port, running at 1360X768. I have Win7 x64 Ultimate SP1 installed and have run Windows Update (a new build not yet in production use - almost no applications other than MoBo utilities, drivers and standard Windows includes).

I have no issues with the display in operation until I switch to my other "Old" system (running at 1360X768 via an Nvidia based adapter) via KVM and then back. When I return to the New system, the resolution reverts to 1024X768 and stretches it to fit - not a pretty or usable sight!

I have had no such issues with any other system I have connected via the KVM whether on-board graphics or a dedicated graphics adapter is used - including some that used Intel on-board graphics.

I have reverted to an older Intel driver (no change), and then removed the Intel driver in favor of the default Windows driver, where the problem does not exist. So for now I have to choose between a basic display or reset the resolution each time I switch between systems.

In the Intel Driver Control Panel (both versions I have tried) the drop down menus do not contain any information - anywhere I looked. It won't allow setting anything. The website detection will not detect my driver version, though it detects the HD 4000 correctly. I used the driver provided by MSI initially, then tried the current 8.15 version from this site. Same behaviors with both.

Any suggestions are appreciated and I thank you in advance.

GMA 3600 series 7x64 drivers....

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 07 May 2013 19:35:01 GMT

Today I found out that I have a motherboard that is 64bit capable, but lacks 64bit GPU drivers.

The motherboard is a DN2800MT. After installing 7x64 I was surprised not seeing unidentified hardware (that's a first for me with Windows), however, I noticed straight away that Windows was using the build-in GPU drivers. Those are so basic that even Patience starts complaining about the lack of graphics performance.

Not long after that I found out that Intel refuses to make 64 bit GPU drivers for this motherboard, while there are 64bit chipset, LAN and sound-drivers available. So why make those and not GPU drivers?

Then I found someone on this forum who linked to a beta driver (GFX_Vista_Win7_64_8.15.8.1050_Beta5.exe) that supposedly supports this particular GPU. Well.... after running the driverinstaller and a reboot, I got a BSOD. Another reboot -> BSOD. Safe-mode -> delete GPU driver -> no more BSOD, but crappy graphics performance due to the standard Windows driver being used again.

After a second attempt, not using the driverinstaller but let the device manager install the driver, it seems to run without problems, didn't get BSOD's anymore. Now I haven't tested much, Windows starts, graphics performance increased and Patience is no longer nagging about crappy graphics, gonna try more tomorrow.

Why are you (Intel) still refusing to make a GPU driver for this motherboard for any OS besides 7x86? This motherboard can run 7x64 without problems. The only thing that's a problem is the lack of GPU drivers. And no, I am not gonna switch to 7x86 because the full amount of RAM is not usable in 32 bits OS's.

Windows don't boot after HD Graphics Driver installation

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 13:39:23 GMT

Hi, first sorry for my english

My system specs :

Core I7 3770k

Asus P8Z77-V

Radeon HD 7950

Windows 7 x64

I bought a Core I7 3770K and a Z77 mother board (Asus P8Z77-V) a few days ago, and i wanted to use "Intel Quick Sync" HW acceleration for video encoding, but when i got both "AMD Catalyst Control Center" and "Intel HD Graphics" installed on my computer, windows do not boot anymore, and stay stuck at the boot animation, i have to manualy remove drivers from the Windows Safe Mode to have my PC booting again ...

I found a lot of people having this kind of issues, but i don't find any solution :/

Why is my CS: GO FPS drop?

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 23 May 2013 21:10:04 GMT

I've been noticing huge FPS drops while playing CS: GO. It stays at 60+ FPS most of the time and suddenly drops to 10-20 FPS and comes back to 60+ after several seconds. I'm not sure why, it would be great if anyone can help me. I've updated my drivers to the latest and DirectX as wellFP

Setting profile for postOOBE sysprep

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 16:10:22 GMT

I am setting up an image for deployment and I need a way to have the profile automatically set so that I don't have to hook up a mouse and keyboard on the machine at time of boot. Is there a way to put a batch file in the startup to accomplish this for me? If so what would that look like?

I am running driver version 9.17.10.2932.

I already have my profile setup the way I want it but I always have to go into the advanced menu and select it.

HD4000 vs GTA IV

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 17 May 2013 03:23:01 GMT

This conversation is a continuation of HD4000 4es unrelated to GTA4 that may be continued here if your HD4000 crashes when idle: http://communities.intel.com/thread/36836

After their perfected solution by the skilled staff here at Intel... I from this non-crashing environment confirmed by ten days of near tortured crashless uptime, installed sp3 on my winXPro sp2 Intel DH61CR/i3-3225 HD4000 system, rebooted and proceeded to play with GTA IV. This is HD 4000 set to full-time dedicated max 1024mb in bios, with all drivers updated, and eventually i even got the game to run and look beautiful in its stock format only patched to 1.0.4.0. Playing the game, running in a straight line at near full graphics quality was enough to please me. Turning to look around though was horrific, the display drops to single frames per second at best and at worst crashes this very same display driver every single time. Surely the game lacked proper load testing as their non-following camera evidences, but i don't mind lag, this wasn't lag. Graphics level makes little difference, from high 900mb to absolute zero 200mb GTA reported memory usage, turning your view crashes the game; graphics level only changes the time before crash from 1 minute to 10 minutes, with 19 out of 20 crashes in one evening in a standard display freeze-and-reboot message as listed in the last thread and once, my first ever XPro blue screen, in 10 years I've never seen a blue screen. Seriously not since 98. It spoke of an infinite loop, saving my system from the end of the world otherwise as the sound skipped in the background. The majority of the GTA4 crashes resulted from the near instant display of a complex object, such as spinning around to reveal a shiny new taxicab with headlights beaming on you, or suddenly coming across a tremendous and complex sculpture in a park, though two of these instances did not result in crashes but 30-60 second freezes followed by normal play. The crashes always occurred after less than 10 seconds of frozen display

Everyone ignorantly nay says HD4000 as being a movie display system, they say HD4000 absolutely can not play GTA4, but I've seen what it can do, here, as i played on zero graphics for 20 minutes straight in one beautiful instance of mayhem and madness, and elsewhere. I play Far Cry near-full graphics seamlessly, Played I Am Alive 2012 faultlessly, the power is there on my i3-3225 to play tough games, and I've a great tolerance for low frame rate and lag. Crashes aren't part of the deal though. You are close to perfection on these drivers. I've not seen this complex-object crash result in any other game than GTA4, and I've tested dozens of the award wining titles in the 2005-2010 range, GTA IV is alone in its difficulties and universal in its crashing of your Intel software on every instance. Don't stop now your previous updates resolved significant errors. And no one can deny GTA4's girth among gamers. Even us casual types.

Taking all ideas, answering all questions. My dxdiag and other technical data unrelated to GTA4 is available on the previous thread: http://communities.intel.com/thread/36836

Where is Intel USB 3.0 Extensible Host Controller driver for Microsoft Windows 8?

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 27 Oct 2012 02:09:38 GMT

I seached within Intel Support and what I got were Intel USB 3.0 Extensible Host Controller drivers for MICROSOFT WINDOWS 7.

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&keyword=intel%20usb%203.0%20extensible%20host%20controller

Microsoft Windows 8 was released yesterday, October 26 and where is the compatible driver for it?

Could an Intel technical support representative feedback to technical support about this problem?

Star Wars KotOR I&II with Intel HD Graphics (Core i5/i7)

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 26 Aug 2012 02:14:00 GMT

Hi All,

Since Kotor and Kotor II have come to steam some issues have arisen. One big one being that neither games work on my 2500K's graphics and I'm not the only one experiencing this. The problem is that the games will run, play the intro movies, briefly show a blank black screen, before crashing with a "kotor/kotor2 has stopped working" message. The fault module is always the intel graphics driver dll. I have played these games in the past on extremely old intel graphics chipsets from the pentium 4 era. The fact that they don't work on my 2500K's graphics is quite sad.

Here's the details of what happens.
