Please Update HD 3000 Windows 8.1 Driver to Fix Blurry Text and Font Issues

[VNguy13]

Hi,

I'm having blurry text and font rendering problems with my HD 3000 IGP ever since I installed Windows 8.1 retail.

The blurry text and font rendering issues was not present in Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 Preview, I highly suspect it's that ever since Microsoft tried to fix the blurry text and font issues in Windows 8.1 RTM/Retail from customer complaints, older hardware such as the HD 3000 IGP which do not have newer drivers from Intel are getting these issues now.

The last driver update from Intel for the HD 3000 IGP was released August 18, 2013 for Windows 8.1 Preview and before the release of Windows 8.1 RTM and Retail which now has blurry text and font rendering issues with the HD 3000 IGP.

I hope to god Intel looks into the matter and releases an updated driver to fix the blurry text and font rendering problems for the HD 3000 IGP (and any older hardware for the matter that also has this issue) on Windows 8.1 RTM/Retail and adds support for WDMM 1.3 for Intel 2nd Generation IGP on Windows 8.1.

I recently just bought a Intel 525 SSD as an upgrade to my older Intel 310 SSD for Windows 8.1 and would be very disappointed if Intel does not fix these blurry text and font rendering problems for my Intel 2nd Generation IGP on Windows 8.1, this would in result ultimately discourage me from buying Intel products in the future if the graphics problem is Windows 8.1 is not fixed.

Thanks,
