Blank screen after installing recent Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Windows?

[idata]

Do you have the same problem? Let me and Intel know!

After installing the following drivers my Windows Vista 64 displays blank (black) screen instead of login screen:

• 15.17.4.64.2119 (8.15.10.2119)
• 15.17.3.64.2104 (8.15.10.2104)
• 15.17.1.64.2086 (8.15.10.2086)

The latest driver that seems to work as far as I can tell now (after few hours of installing drivers back and forth) is the LAST available for download as of today i.e. 2010-06-01: 15.16.5.64.2021 (8.15.10.2021)

If anybody at Intel is finally to look at this PROBLEM (I have seen and joined a similar post for 15.17.1.64.2086 = 8.15.10.2086 only) following is the display properties dump made with working driver (15.16.5.64.2021 = 8.15.10.2021):
