Second Life Windows 8 Intel Series 4 Graphic drivers problem

[Rabid Hashi]

My System:

Computer: Toshiba Satellite A505-S6967

Operating System: Windows 8 Pro

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T6500 2.10GHz 2.10GHZ

RAM: 4GB

System Type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor

Graphics: Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1)

The issue I'm having is that after installing Windows 8 on my laptop, when I start Second Life I get this error dialog saying that Second Life could not start because my "video card drivers did not install properly, are out of date, or are from unsupported hardware."

My laptop was able to run Second Life properly before upgrading to Windows 8. Is there a fix or a work around for this?

Setting the shortcut attribute --noprobe does not work. The same dialog appears.

("C:\Program Files (x86)\SecondLifeViewer\SecondLife.exe" --set InstallLanguage en --noprobe)

 

I'm posting my issue here because I dont' see any 'technical issue" forum and SL's support case area doesn't include viewer problems as an option.

Just try a driver rollback

 

 

There will be compatability issues UNTILL OFFICIAL FINAL RELEASE,and also look to see if you can run SL in compatability mode for win7 if nothing works

[Rabid Hashi]

The 'Rollback Driver' button is faded out, so I can't do that.

I already tried running in Windows 7 compatibility mode. That doesn't work either.

Looks like they still got a long way before a stable release.. I know many running windows 8 right now with no issues

Nvidia has already released their windows 8 updated drivers a few weeks ago

I once solved a similar problem on another version of Windows by installing the then-beta version of the video driver.

dunno if you sorted this yet. if not then

is no official driver for Win8 for your intel card yet

is possible to rollback to Win7 driver version 8.15.10.2555 and mod the INF file to make it go

can learn how to do here

Hi,

I have the same problem described here.

Running Windows 8, but am in urgent need of operating open GL for work with no luck.

I tried updating my graphics driver to the latest and it doesn't work.

I have "Mobile Intel 4 series express chipset family (WDDM 1.1), but want to revert back to the driver for windows 7.

I am operating Windows 8  64bit.

Can you help me?

And I've had the same problem as well. My laptop isn't as new as I thought it was, so it's not being supported any longer. Can you tell me if you've had any luck solving your issue yet?

[RomeoMontegue]

Hey, send me a PM and ill give you a file to download so your computer running windows 8 can accept the driver, and then ill send you the link to download the link for Intel Mobile 4 Series graphics.

 

I would also sugguest you to please check on the Intel website to make sure your computer is running the latest chipset
