Default Gateway 838GH video Card

I have a Gateway 838GH and have a Intel 8295G/GV/910 GL Epress Chipset Family Integrated Video Card. I have installed the driver wich is Intel 82915G/GV/910 GL Epress Chipset Family. The problem is that the font is way too small and can't be adjusted. Everything is a little fuzzy. But I could play the games. If I remove the driver, everything goes back to normal but I can't play games. The motherboard is Intel D915 GAG and the Chipset is Intel i915GL. What could be the problem or better yet waht am I doing wrong? Thanks

The Gateway download driver release level is 6.14.10.3889, the one on the Intel site is 6.14.10.4924 - you could check which you upgraded to. The Intel one's downloadable from the "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Windows XP" link on http://www.intel.com/support/index.h...r_nav1_support

That onboard graphics 3D core is really aimed at reasonable performance with Vista's Aero, it's not got a lot of gaming potential. Come back if the Intel link's no use and someone will know what cheap card will run the game.

I've already tried the 6.14.10.3889 I will try the 6.14.10.4924. These are kids games that don't work. They use to till my hardrive went and I replaced it. Since then I just can't find the right driver. By the way I'm running XP. thanks for your help.

You might consider whether it's just your Control Panel settings - the right-click on the desktop, somewhere under Monitor and Adapter. Maybe your current configuration hasn't got your monitor parameters right? It's worth looking.
