Video Drivers

[Chewybryceman]

I need video updated video drivers for my HP Pavilion p7-1017c. it still has the original drivers from 2011, and I was wondering if there were any newer drivers available, maybe from a couple of years later.

Hi:

The last W7 driver Intel released for the Intel HD graphics your PC comes with is this version...

Version: 15.28.24.4229 (Latest) Date: 6/5/2015

You will need to manually install the driver as follows...

First, create a system restore point so that you can roll back to the current graphics driver you have installed, just in case the updated driver does not work to your expectations.

Next, download and save the Intel HD 64 bit graphics driver ZIP file from the link below (2nd one down on the left).

Download Intel® Graphics Driver for Windows* [15.28]

Unzip the graphics driver file to its folder. Do not do anything with the files in the folder.

To unzip the file, right click on the graphics driver zip file you downloaded, and select Extract All.

Go to the device manager, click to expand the Display Adapters device manager category

Click on the Intel HD graphics adapter listed there.

Click on the driver tab. Click on Update Driver.

Select the Browse my computer for driver software option, and then at the bottom of that window, select the Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.

Click on Have Disk, and browse to the unzipped graphics driver folder>Graphics>igdlh64 (setup information file), click Next, and the driver should install.

Be patient, as it can take a few minutes for the driver to completely install.

When the installation is finished, restart the PC.

To update the Intel HDMI audio driver to the latest version, go to the device manager, click to expand the Sound, video and game controllers device manager category.

Click on the Intel HD audio device listed there.   Click on the driver tab.  Click on Update driver.

Select the Browse my computer for driver software option, and browse to the unzipped Intel graphics driver main folder.

Make sure the Include subfolders box is checked, and the driver will install.

Then restart the PC.
