I recently had the misfortune of screwing up my Win7 installation beyond repair, restore points corrupted, you name it. To the point, I began from scratch and have caught up pretty reasonably.
I noticed a new graphic driver previously not released while I was busy destroying my previous Win7 installation, and upon installing it discovered that every time I completed the installation, it would reboot, flash a few times (which video driver installations tend to do), then Aero would be turned off and a popup would say a restart was necessary due to 'changes made.'
So I would restart, and even before I could login, I saw the flashing taking place as the login screen loaded. Upon logging in, there it was again, 'restart due to changes.'
This happened seven times. I finally loaded a restore point from before it and things are fine now. Here is a screenshot of iolo System Mechanic and Windows Update's visual of the driver. I know my ProBook has interchangable GPU capabilities which has been the source of quite a bit of stress, so I wondered if this simply wasn't meant for my particular laptop, but I would like some insight from the community.
Here are the pictures of the drivers:
Can anyone verify or offer some insight to a very confused user of an otherwise amazing machine? I always like to have the best graphic drivers possible for the gaming this laptop is capable of running (D3 at impressive FPS, WoW too.)
All help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance.
