Can anyone give me replacement info for a driver issue?...

[ROSha]

I kept having the following alert pop up on my screen:

I ignored it at first, until it got annoying. Then I got fed up & downloaded the Intel processor ID utility. The result was:

You use an outdated driver. Please update your driver version

Intel® HD Graphics Family igdumd64dll 8.15.10.2279 2011/01/08

Intel processor ID utility came up with:

Intel® Core™ i3-2350M CPU @2.30 GHz

Chipset ID: 1C49

System Graphics: Intel® HD Graphics 3000

Intel® HD Graphics 3000 has been discontinued, so what LATEST driver can I use to update????? I looked at the 2nd 1 listed at: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/81500/Intel-HD-Graphics-3000 https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/81500/Intel-HD-Graphics-3000, but it was released in 2015 (https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24971/Intel-HD-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-64-bit?product=81500 Download Intel® HD Graphics Driver for Windows* 7/8-64-bit ). FFS… I was looking at everything so long my eyes are starting to cross – chipsets, drivers, I3... OMG, my brain is melting… & the fact that they AREN'T in any kind of # order might be part of it, haha…

I ALSO found the following, which I will list below (released more recently - 2017):

https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/graphics-drivers/graphics-for-7th-generation-intel-processors/intel-iris-plus-graphics-650.html https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/graphics-drivers/graphics-for-7th-generation-intel-processors/intel-iris-plus-graphics-650.html

• Date: 30-May-2017
• Version: 15.45.19.4678 (Latest)
• OS: Windows® 10, 64-bit*, Windows 8.1, 64-bit*, Windows 7, 64-bit*
• Description: This download record installs the Intel® Graphics Driver version 15.45.19.4678 for Windows*.

Can anyone tell me if the 1 released in May is the MOST recent & the 1 i'm SUPPOSED to update with? ANY help would be appreciated...

Ah... TY... I'll take a look...

[ROSha]

ok, something went wrong, Al, lol... I went to the driver section & got this -

Apparently, it's also working right:

GRRR... - IF it's working the right way, then why do i get the error message that i showed in my 1st post!?! This makes NO sense... And it wouldn't tell u its current - that's contradictory...

[AlHill]

Well, what application/game is generating that message? I would check with them.

That being said, you have the latest driver.
