HD 3000 problem after driver update

I've had my Dell Inspiron N4110 for a while; it came with an Intel HD Graphics 3000 video card. I just yesterday updated to what the Intel driver update applet tells me is the latest version of my driver - 9.17.10.3223 - and I'm having visual problems now. If I close my laptop to make it sleep, upon waking it and entering my password, the screen gets glitchy, loses color, and is hard to read; restarting it fixes it (and it actually fixes itself on the "Shutting down" screen!) For some reason, it doesn't do this when I select Sleep or Hibernate from the start menu and then wake it up, so it's more of an annoyance than anything. Any help? My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit and RAM is 4 gigs if that helps.

Try updating the BIOS in your system to http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/555/Product/inspiron-14r-n4110 A12 version, this is available here:

Then uninstall the video driver installed, from Control Panel, Programs and features, locate any entry similar to Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator or video driver and remove it. After that, restart your system and try to install the generic driver using the file posted here.
