    Hi,

    I clean installed windows 7 professional x64 and I could not find a driver for my intel x4500 graphics card. I went to the intel site but when I tried to install it a message came up and said that it was not compatible and that I should get a driver from my manufacturer. In addition, before I installed xp mode my driver worked fine but now when I use aero the pixels get blurred. It could be xp mode that is causing the problem but I would like to know if anyone has found a good windows 7 x64 intel x4500 for their fujitsu laptop.

    Not sure what to say.

    My machine has the S3 graphics card. Fujitsu doesn't yet have Windows 7 (64) drivers for it, either. My temporary 'fix' was to download a Vista 64 driver. It sort of works. The control panel software for the GPU doesn't work in Windows 7, but the chip itself seems to be working. Aero works and the windows experience score shows 4.4 for business graphics.

    I wonder if one of the old Vista 64 drivers on Fujitsu's site would work for intel graphics?

    The windows vista x64 intel x4500 driver from the fujitsu site used to work when I used windows 7 rc but it doesnt seem to work for the windows 7 7600 professional x64. It said that it was not support the operating system. Do I need to install it by changing the properties of the driver to fit windows vista x64?

    Hi Rachel,

    thanks for for the help but unfortunately that driver is only for 32 bit =(. The good news is that I figured out why my pixels where blurring up. It was because I accidently enabled something in the bios. Thank all of ya'lls for the help. Its rare on fujitsu forum xD.
