Intel 865G Windows 7

[idata]

I can not find a driver for my Intel 865G chipset for Windows 7. So what are my options? Do I think about buying a new PCI card or do I think about buying a new computer? Or do I wait for a driver?

This worked...ofcourse, not aero.

I can confirm that the Driver Cindy recommends above works. I just installed in on my Dell Dimension 3,000 running Win7 Ultimate and it worked fine. Until then Win 7 just used a generic driver that gave only 600 x 480 resolution or something completley unusable like that.

I received the message "This OS is not supported" when trying the fix offered by Cindy. Does anybody have any other suggestions?

I too got a message like that. I wish I knew exactly what it was, but at first it said the fix wasn't supported, or there was an error or something. But, I pushed through the error message and let it install anyway. I might have had on more step after that I forget now. But I do know after applying the driver and restarting (I think I had to restart, not sure now) that it did work.

Mine was a Dell Dimension 3000 PC. I can verify that on that older PC it worked as I said earlier.

Good luck

works on ASUS P4P800-VM running Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit.

DELL and ASUS Driver did not work, but the Intel Driver in Windows XP compatibility mode worked perfectly.

Many thanks

Thanks so much!!! I right-clicked on the setup file in the driver folder and ran it under "compatibility" and it worked perfectly!! You have saved me so much time and $$$!

Thanks!

I am having the same problem as CindyO. I tried loading the driver from the link Boris Lam provided (http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?ProductID=1049&DwnldID=9498&lang=eng Download Center), running it in compatability mode, but it did not work. However, I did find the Dell Driver listed in CindyO's 2nd post (R106458) and tried running it in compatability mode and it worked fine for me. I am running Windows 7 on a Dell Dimension 3000 with the Intel 865 video chip set. Now everything works fine on my display. Thanks to all for your support. Tom

Hello,

i´ve installed WIN 7 32 bit on a Dell Dimension 1100. Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz 2x1GB DDRAM. OS showed me a standard VGA graphics card. All kind of messages appeared when I tried to start FreeCell, for example.

I only downloaded the driver from this link: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?ProductID=1049&DwnldID=9498&lang=eng http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?ProductID=1049&DwnldID=9498&lang=eng

and installed it in XP-Mode. The installation required a Re-Start. So what can I say: Everything is fine. Thanks for troubleshooting.

Und hier nochmal für alle Anderssprachigen: Läuft auf Dell Dimension 1100 mit WIN 7 32 bit.

Vielen Dank für den Vorschlag mit dem XP-Treiber.

Hi all,

What happens is that the Intel 865G chipset has not been validated to work with Windows 7. The operating systems that are compatible with that chipset are in the following link http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/intel865g/sb/cs-009180.htm http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/intel865g/sb/cs-009180.htm

You can obtain drivers for the operating systems that are supported using the Intel Driver Update Utility. This is the link to the tool http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect
