Drivers

[freeflyn2001]

I just installed Phoenix on Macbook running bootcamp and it is crashing once in a while. Having trouble switching scenery and a few other glitches. I am not computer literate, can someone explain how I update the drivers I am suppose to have.

I limped through the same problem. I downloaded the updated Intel driver (for GMA X3100) from the Intel site and loaded it in when running Windows not OSX. That did the trick. I also had first updated Bootcamp with the very recent update from Apple.

What site do I have to go to update GMA X3100 driver, my mac side is updated. "I HATE WINDOWS'

Just go to Intel support page and navigate from there.

Yeah but I can't find this GMA x3100 driver on that page. If I type it in the search It pulls of a chipset for cell phones.

Try just "x3100". It will bring up a single "Mobile Intel® 965 Express Chipset Family" page.

You're looking for version 14.34 if using xp. I have windows xp home edition and so chose that link. You will have to choose a different one if your version of windoze is different.

How old is your MacBook? It may not use the same chipset. My suggestion would be to open the Apple System Profiler, go to the video pane, take a snapshot, and post it here. You can open System Profiler from the About This Mac window that pops up when you select the corresponding item in the Apple menu.

This download did help but did not completely fix it. I can run most of the sceneries without any problems. But the water sceneries still lock up if I get to close to the water, even with the quality set to low. I can live with this but if there is any other downloads anybody wlse know's of let my know.


Thanks for all the help.....
