Like you, I'd searched for hours. This was the most concise recommendation I found and it worked perfectly the first time. My X40 with a KingSpec SSD is taking names and kicking a$$. Thanks.

On first launch the game complained that the video mode is not supported and switched to software mode. Tried OpenGL but it didn't work, D3D did, but make sure you set the color quality to 32-bit! Default is 640x480 and 16-bit, I ran it quite smoothly in 1024x768 and 32-bit. 2 Sriver: installed Steam + Half-Life (the original, not Source) as I don’t have CS, but it should be fine as they use the same engine.

I backed out both devices and started from scratch. It worked the second time. Thanks for this excellent fix!

Check in device manager under Display Adapters that you have two Intel adapters and not the Standard VGA Adapter, and reboot. After that it should work fine. 2 mike: This happens when the driver just finished installing, it needs one more reboot.

I'll try CS and let you know the result within few days. 2 Sriver: The only games I tried to run are Jagged Alliance 2 and Incubation and both run fine, but these are not the best candidates for 3D graphics tests.

Thanks for the solution. I have an Acer TM C300 and it worked fine. One issue (you mentioned briefly in your post), though, is that while with the windows 7 generic driver I didn't have 32bit depth color and higher resolution, I did have hibernate. With the driver you've provided, I have neither hibernate nor sleep modes. Is there a way to get these back without reverting back to the generic driver? Thanks! Hi, mart. Thanks for the solution.

I have a Acer Travelmate C300 with a i855 chipset and i wanted to 'upgrade' it to W7 Ultimate. But it occured many problems with the display (bad colors, freeze, 8bits style, ...). I searched many times but gave up. Your solution works perfectly! But I still can't activate Aero. Is it normal? Anyway Thanx ;) Thanks Mart !!!
