That's really odd... even when I experimented a while back with the lakeport drivers on my 855 chipset, the resolution changed... nothing else :/

All you need to do is change the driver under device manager, and then restart. And if that doesn't work, then the drivers are simply not compatible with your graphics chipset.

After some system troubleshooting I could find the reason why my hibernate/sleep doesn't work.

It was the Lakeport video driver :(. I installed the 945GM Driver.. and it works fine, but no Aero support.

Do someone know where I can find an updated version of the Lakeport driver? I use Beta 5456.

What to do?

Do what I intend to do. By a compatible video card and up the RAM.

From

Tiger Direct PNY Verto GeForce 6600 / 256MB DDR / SLI / PCI Express / DVI / VGA / HDTV / Video Card

US$74.99

From

Best Buy 2 PNY 512MB PC3200 DDR DIMM Memory

US$79.98

We're not all made of money. <___<

Believe me, I'm not either. I'll be buying the memory in a couple weeks and the nVidia video card a couple weeks after that. I'd prefer to have the "rela deal" rather than a workaround anyway. ;)

I tweaked a little my 5456 Insall and I preffer it over XP now because the TCP/IP stack is way better, it feels faster and it has improved security.

But for graphics I used the Intel 945GM driver (isn't WDDM), so no Aero effects, but no side problems like graphic artifacts, not being able to suspend or hibernate, or not being able to watch a video in full screen. I hope Intel will give us a good WDDM driver soon.

Yes.

Thank you :)

For those interested, you can check hardware and software compatibility in Beta 2 here:

SOFTWARE http://www.iexbeta.com/wiki/index.php/Wind...patibility_List

HARDWARE http://www.iexbeta.com/wiki/index.php/Wind...patibility_List

The links are broken. I can't get inside them.

Intel GMA 950 does support areo glass, you just need atleast 1gb or ram in order for it to be enabled. I know this cus both my brother and i have macbooks, mine is 2.0 white with 512mb or ram i can't get glass to work, but his is 2.0black with 1gb or ram and glass works fine.

All x300 cards should work including the SE versions :) However, you'll need a minimum of 1 GB of memory since the graphics card uses shared memory.

Just be sure to use these drivers: https://support.ati.com/ics/support/KBAnswe...uestionID=19933 :)

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
