Never mind. Just got the solution. Followed your advice to update the driver from the Device manager menu. Thanks a lot.

Thanks. When I right clicked on the exe installer, the menu did not give me the option to unzip. Moreover when I tried to install winzip, I could not do that either. Very interesting. No idea what to do next.

Hi, I downloaded the IGP drivers but did not want to install unless I set up first the NET Framework 3.5. I got the NET off-line installer but when I started it a prompt popped up that I have to install it first. The snake bit into it's own tail. Now I don't know how to change the resolution of...
