Graphic Driver issue.

Mackman750 · Mar 31, 2014

I was trying to play a game, Minecraft, when I was told my graphics driver was outdated. This happened when I tried playing other games and programs. When I attempted to update my graphic drivers, my computer said my graphic drivers were up-to-date. My PC runs a VGA Graphics Adaptor, with Intel(R) Graphics. I have a decent understanding of computers, but this has me stumped. Thank you for reading this, and have a nice day.

Okay, what are your system specs and what windows are you running?

Mackman750 · Mar 31, 2014

Windows 7. and system specs? I feel bad saying I'm decent with computers, because I have no idea what that means. Guess I'm not Mr.Technopath after all. Can you be more specific? Do you mean a dxdiag report, or...?

Mackman750 :

What are the components of your pc?
What cpu?
What graphics card?
What motherboard?
What memory?
What storage?
Or what laptop model if it's a laptop.

Mackman750 · Mar 31, 2014

Still a bit confused. Mr.Microsoft over here has a few questions on those, since I obviously am professional with computers.. What do you mean by components of pc? And CPU? By Graphics Card, do you mean my driver, or are the two different? I am quite clueless to what the Motherboard is, and aren't memory and storage the same thing?
This concludes idiotic questions with Mackman750.

Err... a driver is software.
Components are hardware-that is. physical components-that are built into the machine.

You're not aprilfoolsing me are you? -.-

sunder25 · Mar 31, 2014

To get back to your issue, i need to know what your computer is made out of in order to tell you what drivers to get.

Mackman750 · Mar 31, 2014

Ah. I am truly ignorant then. Seeing as you are probably much more knowledgeable in this field than I am, and I will probably be asking you to hold my hand this entire discussion, let me just list out what I know.
Graphics Card: Is there any specific way I can check this? I found one thing, but I'm probably wrong, and I think I will be making myself look the fool enough.
Memory:4 GB Ram, 3.89 of it usable.
Storage: Is that not the same thing as ram? Lord of the processors over here does not know half of the terms you are using, or how to check what they are.
Manufacturer: Helwett-Packard Company
Model

6220tCPU 2.80
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G640(*facepalm* So that is where the CPU was. Need to study up on computers, my lord.)@ 2.80 Ghz 2.80 Ghz
Anything that I did not list I have no idea how to check, or just straight up do not know what it is.

Mackman750 · Mar 31, 2014

...What in the...what happened to the Model? Let me relist that, stupid website.
Model: pt-6 2220t

Mackman750 · Mar 31, 2014

No, I wish I was messing with you. I guess I'm more of a "know how to do it" guy than know what it's called person, if such a thing exists. Or you could just call me an idiot, either one works.

Mackman750 · Mar 31, 2014

Ah, thanks for the link to Wikipedia. Now I will be slightly less of an idiot. Thank you.

sunder25 · Mar 31, 2014

right click on my computer then properties.
what does it say after "system type"?

sunder25 · Mar 31, 2014

we're gonna do this!

Mackman750 · Mar 31, 2014

Oh, I found my System Components, praise the Lord. So, anything in particular you need to know?

sunder25 · Mar 31, 2014

Just right click on my computer then click properties and tell me what is written next to system type.

Mackman750 · Mar 31, 2014

System Type? It says "Pen and Touch: No Pen and Touch is available for this display."
Of course, you probably meant something else, so what's under that, you ask?
My computer name, a link to HP support, a bar that said: "Workgroup: WORKGROUP(Do not ask me what they were thinking on that one)", A computer description, which is empty for some reason, something that says that Windows is activated,(Like I did not know that already), and finally, the only hing that may be of use, is a product ID, which reads:
00359-OEM-8992687-00010

Mackman750 · Mar 31, 2014

Ah, NEXT to system type? Mother of GOD, I need to smarten up.
It's 64-bit Operating System. Brought to you by Mackman750, the anti PC master.

Okay, go to https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Default.aspx?lang=eng
and select intel driver update utility. And press continue and follow the steps from there.
I really hope this solves your problem

You are too cool to not be able to play minecraft.

sunder25 · Mar 31, 2014

Get back to me with a result.
Good luck!

Mackman750 · Mar 31, 2014

I'll give it a try. If it fails, I come back and yell at you, don't you worry. Oh, and I have already tried a few drivers, so I'll probably be back, heh heh, Wait here for my verdict, and goodbye... for now. *creepily descends into the shadows*

Mackman750 · Mar 31, 2014

Well, your solution half worked. My driver is all special, so instead of going to Intel, I will be visiting HP. If they send me to Microsoft or something, I will come through with some of my threats to my computer, such as the shotgun one, the hammer one, the bow and arrow one, the crowbar one, the tractor one...
I had an interesting childhood.

sunder25 · Mar 31, 2014

You must be great at parties.

Mackman750 · Mar 31, 2014

Yeah. All of these other people are slow dancing and all of that, while I'm blasting the roof with my hunting rifle, or freestyling. Unfortunately, my school never allowed me to bring my pistol to school, what a shame...
At least I managed to sneak my concealed machete in my backpack in a secret compartment.
I know a guy.

Mackman750 · Mar 31, 2014

Well, restarting right now. Wish me luck, and godspeed!
But we both know it isn't going to be that easy. I'll be back in bout 5 minutes.
