Expland the "display adapters" and you will see a device appear. Then open up the Windows Device Manager (by typing it into the search box on the start menu) and go to "display adapters". It worked!!! Not only was I able to set my screen resolution to a maxium of 1280*1240 but I was also able to play DVDs and WMV files as well.
#Intel 82865g graphics controller driver update install#
I managed to extract it and install it on my new Windows 7 installation. Since I upgraded from Windows Vista, I noticed that Vista had a driver for the Intel 82865g build in so it didn't have this problem (which is strange because Vista has many issues). I concluded that this problem was a driver incompatibility. When I would attempt to play a DVD or WMV my computer would crash and display the BSoD (Blue Screen of Death). This was very disappointing as I play DVDs on my computer often. The driver definitely worked but unfortunately I found that I was unable to play some video types in Windows Media Player like WMV (Windows Media Video) files or a standard DVD for example. When I installed the Intel ® Graphics Media Accelerator driver I was able to set my screen resolution to a higher resolution (than 800*600, provided by the standard vga driver). I found that Windows 7 isn't completely compatible with the most recent driver from the Intel Corporation website, which is version 14.17(since I last checked). I also have an integrated Intel 82865g chipset in my computer.
