    Hi,

    thanks for this useful post. Does anyone know where I can get drivers for my Z63A (W3A) graphic driver.

    It is an onboar Mobile Intel 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Chipset.

    I searched intel's website, but could not find any.

    I will appreciate any pointers..

    thanks - EK

    I just pulled these yesterday at Intel. Just search on "915gm" - not all of those numbers together. It's there, but Intel's site leaves little to be desired.

    Bubbatex: Thanks very much. A search brings me to this page: http://support.intel.com/support/chipsets/sb/CS-020149.htm

    None of the options however support Vista OS.

    Red616: Your link brings me up to this page: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/fil...=Windows+Vista*&lang=eng&strOSs=163&submit=Go!

    I installed the *.inf file. Should be installing the second one: "embedded software"?

    thanks for all your assistance - EK

    No, the embedded is for developers.

    I would also suggest you dl their "identify your product" app, it will tell you exactly what you need to look for. (just to be safe)

    Yeah that's why I asked as I was hoping you found another source. I figured it was not going to be that big a deal finding drivers for you for Vista OS but it's not that easy. While your model is not real new it's certainly not that old. What is the exact name/version of your onboard video system ?

    Try this & see if any of them will work for you:
