Which Intel chip do I have?

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 20:08:46 GMT

I upgraded (aactually clean install) of Vista 64 to Win 7 64 bit.

I was on the ASUS (Mobo) site for updated drivers.

I found one - Intel Chipset Inf Update Program V9.1.1.1014 for Win7 32bit/64bit- but not sure what Intel chip I have.

I ran a Intel INF Update Utility- but that was not helpful.

I wen to: http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/inf/sb/CS-009270.htm

But not sure what I have qualifies as not sure which Intel family I have.

all I can say is I have a Intel Core i7 940 / 2.93 mhz/8/4.8GT

thanks

945GM express and OpenGL issues

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 19:05:32 GMT

I hope someone can help!
I tried to use some features on my CS4 and kept getting an error that OpenGL was not enabled, so when I tried to enable it, it was grayed out. I tried to upgrade my video card/driver and that didn't help either. I then went to the Adobe website and got the OpenGL plug-in, that did not work either. (the OpenGL option is still grayed out and it's telling me my driver or whatever does not support OpenGL)

Is it possible to install a different driver and have 2 or will it mess up my laptop? I have the Moble Intel(R) 945GM Express Chipset Family. Any and all help with this would be greatly appreciated!

More info: OK I just googled if my driver supports OpenGL now so I tried to upgrade directly from the Intel website and got this message:

Product Detected Mobile Intel® 945 Express Chipset Family Current Driver Installed 7.14.0010.1147 A customized computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver Update Utility is not able to update the driver. Installing a generic Intel driver instead of the customized computer manufacturer driver may cause technical issues. Contact your computer manufacturer for the latest driver for your computer.

Does this mean that I'm screwed? Or can I go ahead and install the generic driver? I'm clueless about this!!!!!

WinXP Problem: IGFXEXT.EXE and IGFXSRVC.EXE Running Twice

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 15:31:30 GMT

Recently, my mouse will change to hourglass every second or so and back again after I've resumed my laptop from standby. It is a Fujitsu T-4220 laptop running Intel G965 graphics. It is possible this started after a recent Windows Update. If I open Task Manager and quit one instance of IGFXEXT.EXE, the behavior stops. Is it normal to have both IGFXEXT.EXE and IGFXSRVC.EXE running twice; as both SYSTEM and USER? If not, how can I correct this? Thanks.

ICH7R Problem with RAID-5 Capacity

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 16:13:38 GMT

I just bought 4 1.5TB drives to replace my 4 500GB drives in my ICH7R RAID-5 array. After installing the new drives, they all appear in the Ctrl-I BIOS config disk selection menu. Each drive shows as 1397.3GB. So far so good. But when I select all four drives, the array capacity shows as 95.8GB. Any attempt to set a higher capacity results in an error ("not enough capcity to create volume"). I can find no documentation listing a maximum array size for the ICH7R chipset. Help!

Q45 express chipset driver install problem

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:14:22 GMT

I'm trying to install the latest Intel accelerated graphics driver (6.14.10.5160) on a Viglen micro(one we aren't allowed to open!), the technician replaced the faulty hard drive so it's up to us to rebuild it.

The VGA driver is the only one I am missing - so have tried the latest Intel download - but it seems to be missing the file igfxresn.lrc

Whichever way I try to install it just gets stuck - clicking on the setup file it complains that the file is missing but lets you continue, but then sits on the install screen with the dots moving to show progress but it does nothing (left it overnight).

After trying several different versions it has cleared the VGA driver question mark (driver missing error) but under the display adapters it has

an (!) next to the second Q45 express chipset saying that the driver is not installed. When trying to update the driver it does not find a better match for the currently installed driver (which it says is not installed!).

Any ideas?

Intel DG45FC Win7 and HDMI to SONY LCD TV

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 08:44:35 GMT

Hi, I have strange problem. I have the latest driver from Intel. The picture is to large! Yes I now that I can change that in Intel controlpanel, but the picture quality is still not okay.

I checked with powerstrip and that reported 1680x1200 and somtimes 1920x1080. I have also a Popcorn Hour connected to HDMI and that works perfect. Then I tryied VGA cable and now the picture went to right side of the screen but the quality was okay. Changed resolution several times no luck still to the right. Unistalled the driver reinstalled etc..

Any suggestions?

Does the ICH10R support RAID capacity expansion?

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 31 May 2009 16:24:53 GMT

I believe it does not, but I'd like to confirm it. According to this "What features are supported on each I/O controller hub (ICH)?" grid, only the ICH10DO chipset supports capacity expansion. Does the ICH10R actually lack the hardware to accomplish capacity expansion?

Intel Proset Wireless 13 - Unattended installation?

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:16:41 GMT

Does anyone know is there is a definitive guide for deploying Intel ProSet Wireless version 13 in an unattended mode? I know with the Administrator Tool, you can create .EXE files that allow for profiles to be deployed automatically. However, I don't seem to be able to get either:

1) An unattended program install all on its own for either x86 or x64

2) Said unattended install which includes the profiles as well.

Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Intel Matrix Storage Manager 8.9 problem

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 08:34:18 GMT

Yesterday, I upgraded to Intel Matrix Storage Manager (IMSM) 8.9.0.1023 in preparation for upgrading from Windows Vista Home Premium x64 to Windows 7 x64. I was previously running IMSM 8.2.0.1001 without any problems.

After installing IMSM 8.9, I encountered an annoying problem after resuming from a system sleep state. The desktop environment came up almost instantly as before upon system resumption, but access to the RAID array was delayed by around 30 seconds. Thus the system essentially froze when disk access was requested. This happened consistently.

I was hoping that the problem was isolated to an incompatibility between IMSM 8.9 and Windows Vista. But unfortunately it is not. Upgrading to Windows 7 did not resolve the issue. Thus I must conclude that a bug was introduced between IMSM 8.2 and 8.9. I'm not sure reverting to 8.2 is viable. I tried 8.8 without success.

This is a nuisance issue and not fatal. But still, having to wait for around half a minute every time after sleep resumption is not acceptable.

Here is my config from a partial IMSM report:

Have you experienced a similar problem? If so, are you aware of a fix? Intel, if this has not been reported, how can I file a bug report?

Intel RAID 5 kicked 2 of my drives out! Help please!

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 20:08:18 GMT

I have an ASUS P5Q motherboard with onboard Intel RAID chipset.

I have 4 1.5TB drives that I succesfully made into a RAID5 configuration and populated with data.

After installing a new video card and rebooting the Intel Storage Matrix kicked out 2 of the 4 drives on my RAID and they show up below as non-raid members. While the RAID shows 2 drives missing! The boot drive is on a separte IDE bus so the only other drives connected are the 4 sata drives that I am talking about.

How can I get these guys back onto the RAID5?

The software does allow me to do anything. This is very important data to me and I donot have an extra 4.5 TB to image the drives onto for recovery.

The drives are all new and work perfectly, I have not touched them since so I know the data is all still there. Also they are still plugged into the same ports on the Motherboard so order is kept good.

Please help
