    If there a way to install official Intel video drivers on an HP DV5-1000us? A friends friend has one and I tried extracting the files from the .exe then updating the drivers thru the device manager but it won't take the drivers prob due to a hardware id # hp had changed to prevent people from installing all but thier own "optimized" ( my ) drivers.

    And this DV5 is the one with the GMA X4500 video adapter in case anyones wondering.

    From device manager, uninstall the drivers. Make sure when you unisntall the drivers, to tick delete drivers from system as well. Should be able to instaled Intel Drivers then.
