Hi Intel Forums...

I just found 3 strange things in my graphics card which is Intel GMA 3150,

1.OpenGL version seems to be incorrect in my comp

Yesterday i just wondered on how to find out my OpenGL version coz my app seems to be incompatible with it

So i opened an app called "GPU Caps Viewer" and found out the my OpenGL version is 1.1

Which is strange, I just found out that this graphics card supports 1.4 - 1.5 and even 2.0! which is not in my comp

I already installed the latest drivers and used the driver detector but no hope

So can you please give me the correct driver? i need that OpenGL 1.4 thingy

2.I cant access some options

So all what i did was goofing around with the options, disabling/enabling some hoping for a performance increase

so i came here into this "Power Settings" and click "Modify Settings"

http://snag.gy/udnCQ.jpg snaggy - paste images! then this appeared (most options are grayed out)

Why i cant activate/deactivate most of the options here? is there something wrong with this thing?

3.Whats this "vbios.zip"?

After downloading the zip file need to update the driver but then i saw this thing? (the highlighted one) http://snag.gy/DLWpD.jpg snaggy - paste images!

What does this have to do with the Setup?

Thats it thanks for reading

any reply is highly appreciated

Hello KingHamster678,

Please send me your system model and brand, as well as the system configuration, current driver installed and Operating System.

The VBios Folder is the firmware for the video BIOS; this is needed as part of the driver installation.
