Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME Windows 7 Driver

Update on April 17 2019 : Originally posted by lexxion on his website (currently offline). I removed download link from free file hosting site and replace with Ftp server.

  • Part 1: Drivers (32-bit and 64-bit)
  • Part 2: Uninstall current driver
  • Part 3: EDIT c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys
  • Part 4: EDIT c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys part 2
  • Part 5: Final Step
  • FIX screen Rotation

IMPORTANT!
make sure you log in to you pc as administrator/use administrator account.

PART 1: Drivers

1. Download windows XP (32-bit and 64-bit) driver:

Intel(R) Graphics Controller 6.14.10.3722 (Windows)
Download (direct link)

You can use different driver version, so far this is the best version that worked.

Update 1 : july 2016 - version  6.14.10.3722 : you can directly skip Step 1-4 and directly proceed with step 5 (extract driver file and install manually using device manager). However I do believe it might not work with certain models but worth to try.

Newer version: v6.14.10.4497 - Download
Fix resolution 1200 x 800
Able to run latest Intel Extreme 2 System Tray - as reported by anonymous
.
2. Make a new folder on you desktop and name it as Intel graphic. We will use this folder to extract the driver file.


3. Copy and paste the driver on the Intel Graphic folder you just created, right click on the Intel_6_14_10_3722.zip and select extract here, it should look like this. ( i use Winrar to extract the driver file).

.



PART 2: UNINSTALL CURRENT DRIVERS

1. (If you did not install any drivers yet, skip this part and proceed with part 3.)
We need to uninstall previous driver first. Open device manager, look for Video controller and you will see Standard VGA Driver listed. Right click on it and select uninstall and restart.

PART 3: EDIT c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys

1.Click 'Start' and in 'Search Box' type 'cmd'. The result will show on top. Right-click on 'cmd' and choose "Run as Administrator". If your account does not have admin rights you might be prompted to enter username and password. I used account that already has administrator privileges.



2. Then type or copy/paste the following line and press enter: 

              takeown /f c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys


3. IYou will see a message SUCCESS after the process finished.

4. Next type or copy and paste this line into Command Prompt (CMD):

  cacls c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys /G ajis:F



IMPOTANT: Replace!! ajis with your computer name. You can check your computer name by: Click start - look up on top right corner. Refer picture below:

Then press enter.



 There will be a confirmation message so type 'y'




PART 4: EDIT c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys


1. Open c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys right click and select open or open with.



 2. Choose second option "select program from a list of installed programs ".


3. Then select notepad.




4. Just add any character to the beginning of the text. Let's say we will add character x . So the text should start with xMZ and the rest of stuff. Save the file. This edit will render that file unusable.

Example before we add text it should look like this:

after adding text it should look like this



PART5: FINAL STEP

1.First open device manager by click start and  type devmgmt.msc as shown in the pictures below.



2. In Device Manager uninstall Standard VGA Adapter.


3. It will prompt you to restart so do it.

4.After install you will see a message saying that certain devices did NOT installed successfuly, which is GOOD :).

5.Go to Device Manager and you should see the exclamation point next to "video controller" and "video controller (VGA compatible)". Right-click on "video controller (VGA compatible)" and SELECT update driver.


6.Choose "Browse my computer for the Driver Software" .

7. Then select browse:


 8. Then notice that in part 1 i suggest you extract the driver in new folder (folder name: intel graphic). After click browse, point to that folder. expand by click the small arrow button until you find the win2000 folder.





9. Wait for the driver to be installed. It might hang for a little (It will say that window is "not responding"). Do not worry as this is still installing the driver. It will prompt you to restart so do it. (If it does not prompt click anywhere and wait for message). After restart it will finish installing the driver.

10. Open c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys in any text editor. Remove the first character you put there which was x. Save the file. it should look like this before saving it (MZ - ignore other character)


Your file will be usable again :). You can stop here if you want, but if you want to restore the permissions for the file to original state:


  1. Right-click on any other file in the c:\windows\system32\drivers. Choose "Properties". Go to "Security" tab.
  2. Now compare that security tab with the security tab of c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys
  3. Just make sure the security tabs of those two files look the same (all tabs and advanced options). 
  4. In order to add "TrustedInstaller" it is not the same as regular usernames because it is a service.
  5. You will need to type "NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller" (without quotes) when adding it to own the file and to have all permissions. 
  6. Once you done editing you can delete your account from c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys, because it was not there from the beginning. We took control over and the previous commands added it by default..


SCREEN ROTATION FIX:
Credit: Mike

1. Open registry editor by click start and tyoe REGEDIT.EXE and press enter.
2. Look for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - - SOFTWARE - - Intel - - CUI
DISPLAY1 - EnableRotation - set value to 1

  10. I followed all your instructions but I always get a an "access denied" message when I try to save the vgapnp.sys file. But, using your idea (thanx, btw) I copied the file on my desktop, renamed it "vgapnp.txt" and edited it. Then I booted my computer using Bart's PE disc and copy/pasted the edited file after renaming it back to "vgapnp.sys" to c:\windows\system32\drivers thereby replacing the original file. then the miracle happened.

    1. Aero isn't supported on this chipset, I don't believe.

    It works on an ACER Travelmate 6000.
    Moreover I added "Transbar" and "True Transparency" and now it works looks like a very normal Win 7...

    ReplyDelete
  27. can u share how u added the transbar and transparency

    ReplyDelete
  28. @Black-x:
    You can download the programmes for free for instance here:

    http://www.chip.de/downloads/TrueTransparency_33756949.html

    http://transbar.softonic.de/

    But it´s just an optical advancement.
    Much more important is the fact that I can play the usual games now on the Acer...

    Thanks again - and Happy New Year

  47. Hi Mr. Black-X,

    This is Sanjeev, back again on the forum, however this time with a different querry...m not sure if this is the blog that I can get it answered...nonetheless, I wanted to know, if it is possible to upgrade either the "processor" or the "graphic adapter" for compaq presario v2000 laptop.

    Thanks in advance...

    ReplyDelete
  48. Hi sanjeev,
    For processor yes you can upgrade but so far only from 1.6Ghz processor upgrade to 1.8Ghz success, i don't know if you can upgrade it to 2.0 or 2.2Ghz, and maybe it require BIOS upgrade/tweak, just make sure the you use the same processor socket(so far from my experience it use 754 sockets).
    if you decide to upgrade it, i suggest talk with any guy from the repair shop first, it may help you to decide, normally i only upgrade processor for desktop, from 1.6 to 1.8, no significant increase of performance.
    for graphic i afraid no but doesn,t mean you cant, if i get more information ill let you know, that all i can share for now

    ReplyDelete
  49. Thank you Mr. Balck-x for the valuable input and suggestion....let me try talking to some repair center guys, if they can help me decide......

    ReplyDelete
  50. you are welcome sanjeev, the repair guy should have experience with this stuff, even by theories you can upgrade but there are many things to consider first. Here at my place i didn't do any upgrade without help from the support center, example for the graphic, i will talk to many repair center guy then i decide after i satisfied with the info i get.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I'm sorry for this.. but i still have a question.. i cant understand the last part.. this -> In order to add "TrustedInstaller" it is not the same as regular usernames because it is a service.
    You will need to type "NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller" (without quotes) when adding it to own the file and to have all permissions.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Well for the trusted installer i will try it update it at the post with pictures, but if you are using compaq laptop there are easier way to do that, just mention your laptop model and ill provide the drivers

  61. Thanks for this solution.

    I have a tablet pc (Toshiba Satellite R10). Any idea how I can get the screen to rotate like it used to?

    ReplyDelete
  62. I got the screen rotation figured out. I had to edit my registry. My old tablet pc is now running window 7 with no display issues. I'm a happy camper!

    ReplyDelete
  63. hi mike,
    can u share how did you edit the registry?

    ReplyDelete
  64. First I backed up my registry, and I suggest anyone trying this do the same.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    SOFTWARE
    Intel
    CUI
    DISPLAY1 - EnableRotation - set value to 1

    This is what worked for me.

  68. Anyone interested in getting 6.14.10.4497 to work - read this:

    I've managed to get the Intel 6.14.10.4497 working on a Toshiba M100 with 82855GM graphics running Windows 7 SP1. I didn't use this method of disabling vgapnp.sys

    Instead, after installing - I also 'reinjected' the drivers on shutdown -before reboot into Windows/system32/drivers by using Paragon 2011 Hard Disk Manager WinPE Boot Disk: Tools->Transfer Files. This allows you to bypass the TrustedInstaller Status.
    The method which worked used a combo/hybrid driver- configuration files from 6.14.10.3722 and driver files from 6.14.10.4497.
    The newer Desktop icon 'Intel Extreme Graphics 2 for Mobile' also works properly.
    When installing 6.14.10.4497, there is also a 'bug' workaround required, the machine must be set up with region settings set to 'US', UK settings cause a error 'string request not found' in the driver on install. (You can switch region settings back once driver is installed)

    I haven't worked out exactly which files are/aren't required, but the solution of combining latest driver files with the configuration files of the earlier driver does work.

    The method I used was eliminating all common files to start with (one's which were identical between the new and older drivers), then transfering groups of files into the old driver until it worked.

    It does seem faster than 6.14.10.3722.

    Also fixed the sdcard problem on the Toshiba Portege M100 by injecting the older Vista Driver, so all drivers are the latest, and now work.

    ReplyDelete
  73. have u use the option open with notepad, normally it would work,but here i would like to suggest a new way to install the graphic driver:

    1. Download this driver
    ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp28001-28500/sp28484.exe

    2. Right click and select run as administrator.It will resulting in error, ignore it because the purpose is it will extract the driver to C:\SWsetup\sp28484.

    3. Open device manager. To do this click start and on the search box type DEVMGMT.MSC and press enter.

    4. Look at the graphic adapter you will see Standard VGA. Right click on it and select UPDATE driver.

    5. Select Don't Browse my computer for driver software and click browse (tick the box INCLUDING SUBFOLDER).

    6. Browse to C:\SWsetup\ssp28484 and click next. continue with on screen instruction and reboot.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Before I try the procedure, I woudl like to be sure that it would apply to the Intel® 82815 Graphics Controller which is installed on my Laptop SONY PCG FX370P.
    When using Windows XP I can configure the display in 1024x768 64K colors but with Windows 7 I am limited to 640x480 when I want 64K colors.
    Thank's ahead for your answer,

  77. Im not sure with 64, coz i never try it, btw to safely follow the procedure without damaging any of your system file, just make restore point before the procedure, say if it fail just perform system restore.

  79. Hello,
    I worked at it several hours yesterday .... No success ! I did manage to access the file vgapnp.sys and modify it in the directory Windows\system32\drivers but after the following steps and restart of my system it looks like the system looked for that file evrywhere and ...found it !
    I noticed that there are 2 other occurences of that file :
    one in directory windows\winsxs
    oe in windows\system32\driver store\Filerepository\display.inf8x86....
    Probably the system scans these directories and copy the file ?
    What if I remove all occurences of this file after saving it on a different drive not scanned by the system ?
    I'll let you know.
    Henri

    ReplyDelete
  80. you can modify/change or remove files as long as you make restore point and backup for the files, I'm at hometown for almost 2 month now and will be back to the city in next 2 month (long vacation) so i dun have laptop with same specs for my references regarding your problem, but ill try to assist as much as i can

    ReplyDelete
  81. THank's for your offer of assistance. But, unfortunately I guess ther is nos chance ! I managed to get thru the correct process eliminating all teh occurences of the file vgapnp.sys and reached the point when the system asked me to install the driver from the Win2000 directory .... It started by stopped saying there was some incommpatibility (SE Process not supported ?). I guess that it figured that the graphic card was not the one compatible with the software. So I went back to the previous restoration point which is not great because I have onmy a very small screen in 640x480 ! However I also kept a version of XP on teh same machine and with it the dsiplay is OK. TTime to get rid of this old stuff !
    Thank's again for your help,

  82. Well, everything works fine with my tablet T4010d except the fact that I can not rotate screen.There is no option for orientation in screen properties, when I try to rotate through windows mobile centre nothing happens.Driver is updated with 6.14.10.3741, I also make a registry correction in display 1 but nothing.I will be very grateful if somebody could share solution with me.Also thanks to all people sharing information on this page.

  86. @Anis,
    I think there something wrong with your system, I strongly recomend to Reformat and Reinstall windows and start to nstall the drivers again, to amek thing easy, PM e at kyoajis@gamil.com after you format, ill assist you with the graphic installation. But if your graphic work fine (mean smooth) and you can get MAX resolution means it OK and ignore the device manager status. (note that u cant enable aero with this graphic chip.)

    ReplyDelete
  87. I reformatted and did all the steps, now all works alright. Thanks! ;) eventho no aero thingy. i get it, its an old chap im not hoping too much hee.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Thanks for the feedback Anis, somtimes our windows isntallation could missed some files (due to bad CD, shake during isntallation etc). The great thing is you manage to solve it by urself =)

  89. thanks for the procedure it did work but half of it.
    as the driver that worked for me is 6.14.10.4497
    but after sucessfully installing and using it, after restart my laptop does not find the driver so again i update the diver and again it install it(also it doesnt ask for restart).
    i even tried to restore the security settings of vgapnp.sys .but is of no help as it installs on the restart "vga driver" but not the "video controller"
    can u suggest something how to not to lose the driver everytime i shutdown my computer(no hibernation)
    it would be of great help man.

  90. try this, but im not sure of it, theres a way to prvent computer to revert back to standard VGA, this happen to some laptop recently and i fogot how i did it, but ill try to remmeber it and post here, btw try this frist:

    Go to Start–>Search type in gpedit.msc
    Click the file to open the Local Group Policy Editor and show Windows who is in control!!
    You want to go here: Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->System->Device Installation. Click on the subfolder Device Installation on the left and on the right side you will see the possible restrictions.
    Right Click on Prevent Installation of Devices not described by other policy settings and edit this option, set it on ENABLED.
    Reboot Windows and enjoy its inability to pollute your system with its standard driver, open gpedit.msc again and revert the change so you will be able to install your driver.

  91. thanks for the reply man ,
    but it did not work.after using procedure
    as soon as i restart ,after successfully installing the driver, no driver found pops up.
    is there something it had to do with the "vgapnp.sys" security settings.
    by the way i appreciate that u replied so fast thanks for that too man

    ReplyDelete
  92. this happened to others too and maybe it does have things to do with the vgapnp.sys, this method itself created to prevent windows to revert back to standard VGA after installation.
    btw
    How about try this procedure in SAFE MODE, to log into safe mode, restart and when post screen show (say DELL/HP etc) press F8 repeatedly until you get the multi boot OS choice, select SAFE MODE and perform the method above.

  93. hey man i finally got it working,
    i did two things :-changed the driver verion to 6.14.10.4704
    and disable driver signing permanently by typing this in an elevated command prompt;

    bcdedit /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

    restart then update the driver in compatibility mode along with admin permissions.
    and after restart the driver was working smoothly.
    although i wanna tell u that in the past i gave up to install the driver
    but this blog of yours encouraged me that there must be a way to install the driver.so all credit and thanks goes to u.
    a real thanks to u man :)

  100. Hello Black - I followed your instructions and everythingwas just as you said it should be but my screen doesn't rotate. Is there anything I can do to ensure I have implemented your instructions correctly. I have a Gateway M250. It was OK with XP tablet but I upgraded to Windows 7 and that's when I lost the rotation

    ReplyDelete
  101. This is the best illustrated guide for the driver replacement in win7. Could the forum guide me if the same process can be successfully implemented in win 8.( for the same intel display drivers- 82852/82855-)There the standard vga is called "basicdisplay.sys" in the place of vgapnp.sys in win7

    ReplyDelete
  102. I never test it yet with windows 8, maybe you can implement the same method by using the basicdisplay.sys, or maybe not.just make sure to make restore point before anything else. Ill try to find any laptop with the 82852 and test it with windows 8, ill update as soon as possible

    ReplyDelete
  103. Thanks Black-x. will await your further updates in the matter (82852 vis-a-vis windows 8)

  105. I applied the same way to basicdisplay.sys in windows 8 and i restarted the pc and it locked up, couldnt get to desktop.

    i use ibm thinkpad r50e

    i am dying for a solution..

    ReplyDelete
  106. You need to install it again, but first we need to make your computer back to the original swtate before u modified it.

    To do that after restart press F8 and select safe mode, then perform system restore, note that i never tested in windows 8 and maybe there are several changes have been made and this method isn't compatible wif the OS

    ReplyDelete

  111. Hi,
    this is the only solution I've seen yet after a long time of searching.
    I'm enormously thankful for it but ...
    It can probably be simplified!
    Try these steps ...
    1. Download the zip-file mentioned above.
    2. Unzip it to a directory.
    3. In Windows through the Device Manager uninstall the Display's driver,
    and don't restart.
    4. In the Device Manager install the Display driver by pointing to the directory in step 2.
    5. Restart your computer.
    6. Windows will find new hardware (the display) and install its driver (from step 4).
    7. The display will now or after a second restart acknowledge new display settings.
    DONE!
    Best regards

    Replies
    1. That (!) normally refer to incompatible driver. BUT i want you to remember that this tutorial intend to make the Intel 82525/85525 GME get max resolution. From the pic i saw your pc already have max resolution so ignore the (!) it will do no harm. Sometime in some cases i disable one of the VGA (dual VGA) marked with (!).

      the (!) on the bluetooth means your bluetooth will not work properly so you need to install bluetooth driver.

    3. Since this happened to me before, i notice that the certain video format require CERTAIN codecs to play such as RMVB format. The other thing that may cause this is there are too many codecs installed with different configurations.
      For now i suggest:
      open vlc go to preferences>video>output module then check advanced options and then change the module to opengl
      In my computer after formating i install this codec according to order : mcpstar - kmp - real one - vlc.

  129. Alguien me explica la ultima parte en
    español... i understan well the last part...

    Right-click on any other file in the c:\windows\system32\drivers. Choose "Properties". Go to "Security" tab. Now compare that security tab with the security tab of c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys. Just make sure the security tabs of those two files look the same (all tabs and advanced options). In order to add "TrustedInstaller" it is not the same as regular usernames because it is a service.
    You will need to type "NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller" (without quotes) when adding it to own the file and to have all permissions. Once you done editing you can delete your account from c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys, because it was not there from the beginning. We took control over and the previous commands added it by default.

    i do all ok..but..i understan the last part..ty in advanced.

    One thing I might add is that in Step 2, if you've got a bad driver loaded already, make sure to check the box that says "Delete the driver software for this device" in order to get the exclamation mark to appear; otherwise, it just keeps reinstalling upon every reboot.

    Again though, thanks for such a through tutorial...I really appreciate it.

  134. To those having issues with movies on VLC players such as stuttering and lack of smooth video, try switching video output to "Direct X (Direct Draw) video feed" option.

    My video was terrible, and I had even tried the Open GL selection suggestion as noted above by Black-x, but it was no better. I then read where this chipset doesn't(perhaps fully) support Direct X, and I think this selection (Directx/Direct Draw) must intercede to correct the issue. And if that doesn't work, I'd experiment with the different outputs before giving up on the VLC player...it really is one of the best.

      2. Open device manager and right click on standard VGA select update driver.
      3. Select browse my computer for device driver.

    5. installing wrong graphic driver may cause blue screen or freezing, i forgot to mention that if we are going to install driver which not from the manufacture, first we must make restore point so every time there's something wrong you can restore your computer to the earlier state.

    6. The freezing problem reappeared even when dynamic clock tick is disabled as suggested in the work-around. Also I found out that VLC / media player do not work most of the time. So it seems that I must install a driver for the graphics card.
