ken_cinder Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Your driver version is newer than what Intel even has, so I would assume you're somehow using an incorrect driver (Maybe for a slightly newer chipset), or Intel just goofed on an INF file. Install this - http://downloadcenter.intel.com/confirm.as...e=&lang=eng and this - http://downloadcenter.intel.com/confirm.as...e=&lang=eng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razydude Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) i looked at my graphics card report while playin and saw that the "graphics memory in use" kept going up....i quit the game just as it got to 63mb i figured it would crash as soon as it reached 64mb which is the maximum....i know pretty crappy but its all i got....any way of slowing this down or increasing the maximum graphics memory...again without buying anything?

ken_cinder Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 It's not going to crash because of that. The program will know these details. The min/max is what the chipset is capable of using, as it uses your RAM as it's memory (Shared memory). You've currently got it set to the MAX (This would be set in the BIOS). All I can suggest if this is still happening, is to format and re-install Windows or update your bios. I noticed in one of the board BIOS pages that Bios version 1.5 updates the video bios to a newer version. This may address your issue, it may not.You will have to make 100% sure your exact motherboard model though, in which case you'll need to open your case and look for that on the motherboard.

razydude Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 where can i update the bios and how can i get into the bios settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_cinder Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 where can i update the bios and how can i get into the bios settings Depends on the board, you'll have to do what I already instructed you to, find the EXACT model number.Then download the bios from MSI's site for the right board, and follow their instructions.
