    Hi guys, thanks for clicking on this post.

    I have recently bought a new laptop, with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I know there is an upgraded version of the graphics driver, I tried to get the upgrade from the intel website and that didn't work as I had an error I can't remember, but I remember it said to go to the computer manufacturer. So I went to the Compaq website which directed me to the HP website where I navigated to the right area for the correct graphics driver.
    I downloaded this item, it said minimum requirements are to have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 version, which is what I have, but when I go to install the software it tells me that I do not meet the minimum requirements...

    its a compaq presario 420sa
    all I need is an upgrade from Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family Driver 8.15.10.1883 to 8.15.10.2086 but I cant find where to get this

    I have found out that I can not get one from the Intel site as I can not install a generic driver as this is blocked or something. But from the manufacturers website they do not have the upgraded driver, only the one I currently have.

    Google says the Laptop has a Nvidia 8200M G Graphics Adapter.
