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 :)

    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 by Hamid Ganji The iPhone Fold is one of the most anticipated tech products expected to debut this fall. It will be Apple’s first foldable iPhone, ushering in a new product category for the company. While the first generation has yet to hit the shelves, a new leak suggests Apple has already begun work on its successor. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claims that the second-generation iPhone Fold has already been confirmed, meaning Apple could launch a successor in fall 2027. The foldable iPhone is also reportedly referred to as the “iPhone Ultra,” though it remains unclear whether Apple will ultimately choose that branding, especially as Samsung is rumored to rename the Galaxy Z Fold 8 as the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra this year. The leaker also claims that the second-generation foldable will feature a wider folding display while reusing the same screen found in the first generation. Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to feature a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.3-inch outer screen in a passport-style form factor. It has already been reported that Apple plans to change its iPhone release cycle in 2026 to spread launches throughout the year. Under this strategy, the iPhone Fold is expected to debut this fall alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. The standard iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 are expected to arrive later in 2026 or in early 2027. Speaking of the iPhone Air, Digital Chat Station says Apple remains undecided about a third-generation model. The company is reportedly waiting to see how the iPhone Air 2 performs in the market, and if sales disappoint, a successor may never materialize. As we reported this week, the iPhone Air has not been scrapped from Apple’s plans. The second-generation model is reportedly scheduled for spring 2027 and could introduce upgrades such as an additional rear camera for ultrawide photography and improved battery life.
    • ahh yes the good old your opinion differs from mine so you are therefore insane lol destiny 1 had no agenda pushing and was a massive success of a game, if you clearly look online the team for some reason thought they had too many men on the team and went on a woman and dei recruitment drive and we all know how destiny 2 performed from then on in
    • The limited imaginations and business acumen of non-dominant players is simply that: the abject lack of creative business acumen. Businesses often want to operate in a financially-rewarding marketplace (free market economics) and/or exit/cash-out at maximal financial recompense. Money is their incentive; regulations are both their obstacles and their tools; politics is their means of influencing the marketplace. Google, in this story's example, is crying that AWS and Azure are "too dominant" -- cuz Google Cloud is not printing as much money as Alphabet wants (although it is still dramatically more than they actually need). The EU DMA should truly follow-the-money and treat the EU as its own sovereign nation in order to protect European market players: Domestic entities are exempt from market-influence regulations until absolute monopoly is achieved; Foreign (non-EU/non-Euro) entities are all regulated via stricter DMA measures whereby regulated partnership with independent domestic entity becomes the only way for foreign entities to 'tip the scale' for favorable financial remunerations. Basically create a dual-track aligning with China's foreign investment models. In my eyes, this is the only way to properly protect the European marketplace beyond the current dot-com/ai-bubble/social-media crazes.
