It's not with the driver, it's on your Integrated Graphic Card. It can't support Windows 8 and checking it, having 256MB is very low. Much better you buy a cheap video card. Since Windows 8 can support your machine, but I doubt you feel some lag. Much better to upgrade than to stick with your machine.
