hitman05 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) Hey all, I just installed the Windows 7 Enterprise X64 RTM yesterday. Everything seemed to be running well until I tried running solitaire. The game crashes almost immediately, and since trying all the other included games it seems that they all do the same thing. Looking in the event viewer shows that the Intel graphics driver is faulting. The strange thing is that "real" games such as CS Source and Defcon run perfectly fine and the workstation is completely stable otherwise. Anyone else having the same issue? I'm using the latest Windows 7 driver from Intel's website. Specs: HP Dx2300 microtower, Core2 Duo E4400, 2Gb RAM, Intel 946GZ graphics.

JustinT Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Same problem here...... Any suggestions yet? I tried an older version of the driver and I get the same problem.. I then tried reinstalling the newest chipset drivers for my board... Nothing seems to work! Here's the exact error message I'm getting... Faulting application name: minesweeper.exe, version: 6.1.7600.16385, time stamp: 0x4a5bc9f5 Faulting module name: igdumd64.dll, version: 8.15.10.1825, time stamp: 0x4a37e523 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x0000000000070b32 Faulting process id: 0xf68 Faulting application start time: 0x01ca18610efda5fb Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\minesweeper\minesweeper.exe Faulting module path: C:\Windows\system32\igdumd64.dll Report Id: 4f68eef4-8454-11de-a879-0019210df746 Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, that's the same error I get in the event viewer. The same problem seems to occur using the Windows Update-provided driver as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinT Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I've tried the newest driver from the Intel site, an older driver from the Intel site, the Windows Vista/2008 64bit driver and the one from the update site. All of them fail with the same error... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovetech Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 strange i'm also using the same driver modded for my 945G & it works absolutely fine. could be a driver bug but as you say other games works fine just try : sfc /scannow from administrative command prompt to be sure of integrity of windows file.

Flipsyde Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Managed to find the fix, Windows 7's Update checks only for the driver, However it is somehow unstable, Hence every now and then you crash. To fix this, Download the Intel Media Accelerator for Win 7 http://downloadcenter.intel.com/confirm.as...e=〈=eng After installing it, I've had no glitchy screens, Left it on for a night, Worked perfectly.

I've installed these drivers and the Windows games still crash. I think I'll need to completely wipe out the Intel drivers and reinstall the newest ones from scratch.

hitman05 Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 Found the fix: Install an ATI graphics card. The games now work perfectly, so it's definitely an issue with Intel's graphics drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
