Intel HD Graphics Card, Windows 8 and problems with GP4 Builder

[idata]

Hi,

I am having problems with the Intel HD Graphics Card when using GP4 Builder. GP4 Builder is a software used to create and edit tracks for the Grand Prix 4 game: http://www.realgpx.com/Forum/index.php?topic=1788.0 http://www.realgpx.com/Forum/index.php?topic=1788

I have created a thread on that particular forum about the problems, see here: http://www.realgpx.com/Forum/index.php?topic=1872 GP4 Builder and graphic cards (screenshot in this link for assistance)

I thought that I should also create a thread here as well. I have tried so far:

a) rolling back to the previous graphics card [didn't work]

b) reinstall the newest version of the graphics card [didn't work]

My PC is a Compaq CQ58-304SA Notebook PC, operating system Windows 8 64-bit.

Here is the log I get from Intel Control Panel:

Hi Dave,

Would you please try this driver? https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=22605&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%208%2C%2064-bit*&DownloadType=Drivers https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=22605&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%208%2C%2064-bit*&DownloadType=Drivers

I recommend updating the BIOS as well. You can download BIOS update from this link http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-116427-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4132&product=5349161&sw_lang http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-116427-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4132&product=5349161&sw_lang=
