Hello,

I have win 7 home 32 bit

Product Detectedhttp://www.intel.com/support/graphics/intelgm45 Mobile Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset FamilyCurrent Driver Installed8.15.10.1892

I am trying to update video driver to 8.15.10.1855. This version dated to 10.2010 and my version is from when i purchased it about january 2010.

I get this message on intel utility

A customized computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver Update Utility is not able to update the driver. Installing a generic Intel driver instead of the customized computer manufacturer driver may cause technical issues. Contact your http://www.intel.com/support/oems.htm computer manufacturer for the latest driver for your computer.

Should i contitnue with upgrading?

thank you

Are you having any problems? If not I would leave well enought alone. If yes, check the release notes to see if it sounds like it might help.

It is best to stick to the OEM version of the driver if possiable.

( it is very likly there is not much difference between teh drivers 8.15.10.1892 VS 8.15.10.1855 . Your current driver appears to be a "Newer Build" (larger number) than the update. This could mean that they are the save version, just one is generic and one is OEM.
