Which Modded Driver Should I install? HELP!

[MASTEROFNOCRACK]

Well I have an Intel GMA 3100(not x3100) it is with the G31
chipset.its called Intel G33/G31 Chipset Family.I was going to
download a modded driver for my chip but when i got to the downloading
page i got confused i didn't find my chip's name so i downloaded the
newest one(the one at the bottom.It was called Windows 7 - V1.1E for
945 Chipsets (Netbook Compatible).Then i uninstalled my normal drivers
from control panel and installed the modded one and i restarted the
PC.after the restart i right clicked on the desktop and didn't find
graphics properties or graphics options.So i went to system32 and
searched for igfx.exe or something like that because thats the GMA's
exe file when i started it a tray icon popped up saying Intel Extreme
Graphics.I know extreme graphics is older than GMA so i ran the system
assessment tool in windows 7.After it finished the Gaming Graphics:3d
business and gaming performance jumped from 3.2 to 3.3 and
Graphics:Desktop Performance For Windows Aero Jumped From 3.3 to
3.6.So i think its bettered my graphics.But the thing thats worrying
me is the Intel extreme graphics tray icon thing.

Did I Install The Thing Right?
Was That Driver Compactable With My GMA Chip?

PLEASE HELP!

I'm really worried

1st remember to always post your full specs for future reference
2nd I guess sherry 1.2 should be your best choice (use the search bar
for the link)if the setup gives you errors the use the "have disk
method" aka manual driver setup
this should also solve control panel related problems =)
Hope this helps

MASTEROFNOCRACK PLS READ THE FISRT THREAD OF THE FORUMS, ITS NOT TOO
HARD TO FIND IN THE MAIN SCREEN ITS SAYS

READ 1ST BEFORE POSTING

and come back later

thanks kid

[MASTEROFNOCRACK]

ok,the sherry drivers say my pc doesnt meet the system requirments
something like that so im going to try the manual way

[Kiki]

if there's still problem with installing the modded driver, it might
be your chipset is not on the list, because the modded driver was
planned to be used on laptop/netbook.

looking from the original INF of the driver, it seems your hardware ID
are 29C2 and 29C3, but CMIIW. please confirm it if it's true.
they can be easily added, though ^_^

I have a problem installing modded drivers on my g33/g31 too :/

[Kiki]

okay, for both of you, sir.

let's see the device(s) first.
try to open Control Panel => System => Device Manager => Display
Adapters

there might be more than one list here, depend of what kind of
computer you have(and I assume it'll be 2 if you really have this G33/
G31)

double click (or right click => Properties) the device(s) listed there
go to Details tab
below the Properties combo box, there's a bunch of submenu

if you look at these menus:
- Hardware Ids
- Compatible Ids
- Device Instance Path
- Driver Node Strong Name
- Rollback Driver Strong Name
- Matching Device Id

there'll be an over and over but same device listed in alphanumeric,
in this format: DEV_xxxx, with xxxx is the device ID

if what I said about your device ID(s) 29C2 (and 29C3, if any) before
is true, then do this following:
- from the extracted modded driver, go to folder Graphics, and open
"igdlh.inf" with any text editor that you want
- find the section that list some lines like this:
%iBWGX0% = i965GX0, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27A2
%iBWGX1% = i965GX1, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27A6
%iBWGX0% = i965GX0, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2772
%iBWGX1% = i965GX1, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2776
%iBWGX0% = i965GX0, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27AE

your list might be different or the same as me, but don't worry
about it.

- look at the pattern. the only difference between them are the
numbers after iBWGX, i965GX, and DEV_
- 0 is your first device, 1 is your second (if any), and 2 is your
third (if any), and so on
- if your device present are really 29C2 and 29C3, then add this lines
(either above or below the existing list, choose the one you like):
%iBWGX0% = i965GX0, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_29C2
%iBWGX1% = i965GX1, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_29C3

- save the file, then try the Setup.exe. hopefully you don't have to
do the manual installation.

good luck ^_^

thanks man it worked,now i have sherry drivers,and those sherry
drivers gave me a real boost in san andreas
before i installed sherry drivers the frame rates was 25 to 30 fps
but after i installed sherry drivers i got 30 to 40 fps

thanks angelictears for making those wonderful drivers

and thanks kiki for telling me how to install them!

[Kiki]

you're welcome. glad it worked ^_^

[Silentspeedz]

Sooo which modded driver am i suppose to install for a g33/g31 gma
3100 for windows 7 32?
Doesnt Kiki's method work on ALL modded drivers? If so what if we do
it on the wrong md (thats not compatible)
and think its correct cause it showed up compatible after kiki's
method?

[MASTEROFNOCRACK]

the driver works.it gave me a grphics boost thats alli need to
know.use it it works its compatable

[Silentspeedz]

Alright thanks for making sure! Ill give it a try and post back the
results!

[Silentspeedz]

So i installed v1.2 sherry using kiki's method and my windows rating
for 3d gaming graphics went from 3.3 -> 3.2...
I tried team fortress 2 and it feels about the same if not worse on my
fps!

[MASTEROFNOCRACK]

thats what happened to me when i installed the alpha drivers.it went
from 3.3 to 3.2 but now its 3.3 and the windows aero graphics went to
3.6 from 3.4

[Silentspeedz]

thats strange...
Mine was:
windows aero 3.9->3.6
Graphics 3.3->3.2
Those were the results after installing sherry 1.2

[MASTEROFNOCRACK]

what the hell right???

[Silentspeedz]

but you said you get a boost right?
i dont get any at all

I don't rely that much for WEI scores. as long as I get good results
in game than before, then I'm not too bothered (although of course
it's a bit worrying to see lower values). besides, the scores might
change over time even if we don't add any new hardware all this time.

still, there's a possibility that those lower values was caused by a
slightly different settings applied on the computer (as I explained
before, the modded driver was planned to be used on laptop/netbook
rather than a desktop PC).

I can't promise to found anything helpful as my knowledge is also very
limited compared to the others (plus, I'm not the creator of the
driver), but let's see if we can alter some of the settings to
increase the scores (and probably also the performances).

meanwhile, if you have better gaming experiences right now, happy
playing

^_^

[AngelicTears]

the drop may be because of the driver itself is not optimized for that particular hardware, for example the GMA3100...

in comparison, most GMA950 hardware will experience increase in performance and quality, also the WEI score went up although it doesnt really mean anything , i rather trust other benchmarking tool...

also the V1.3 which is coming soon will be optimized to almost all mainstream hardware such as the GMA950, GMA3100 and the X3100..so i suggest to wait or use any MD that suits best to ur system..
