T61: Display Driver igfx instability in Vista 64-bit

Has anyone else with a T61 with integrated graphics using Vista 64-bit notice stability issues with the display driver igfx v.7.14.10.1244?

Every couple of seconds, my screen will blink, change it's setting to full brightness, and a windows dialog box will pop up stating "Display driver igfx stopped working and has successfully recovered."

The driver is also related to the brightness OSD problem on both x86 and x64 platforms.

 

So i found a new igfx driver, v7.14.10.1283, directly from the Intel site for Vista 64-bit.

Here's the driver info:

Here's the download link:

Can anyone tell me how i would go about installing the new driver from a .zip file? They do not have a .exe file available for download at this time.
Edit: Actually i need to know which specific files should be extracted from the .zip folder.

 

Hi. I have the same problem too. My notebook is the IBM T60p running the Firegl video card.

I noticed that the screen flickering and message "Display driver igfx stopped working and has successfully recovered." pops up only when I am playing World of Warcraft. I have also noticed that the notebook is very hot when this is happening.

Think any of this is related?

 

i have same problem and im using toshiba satellite A 135-S4467.
However, it happens every few mins. I think its refreshing the monitor tho;;
but it's not happy that seeing monitor blink
