I don't think that it will work but DO A BACKUP and try it! To see if it changes everything download GlView from http://www.realtech-vr.com/glview/download.html (choose the XP version - default is for MacOS)
Run it and look at the OpenGL version and DirectX version and shaders - note them down if you have to. Download a new driver for windows XP (might be for 945 or 965 - but since it is our first step try an ordinary 945 - my guess is 915 is more similar to 945 than 965) Exctract it and now... Find you device id - one way is to rightclicking on desktop and going to the intel graphics control panel - or clicking on the tray icon for it. Then click on the small "i" next to the cross that would normally close the panel. A new window will pop up where you can read your vendor ID) I have downloaded a driver for 6700Z from Acers FTP and the section that is interesting for us looks like this: [Intel.Mfg] %iMGM% = i852GM, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_3582 %iSDG% = i865G, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2572 %iGDGD0% = i915G0, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2582 %iGDGD1% = i915G1, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2782 %iALVD0% = i915GM0, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2592 %iALVD1% = i915GM1, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2792 %iLPGD0% = i945G0, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2772 %iLPGD1% = i945G1, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2776 My guess is you're on i915GM so your device id is 2592 and 2792 - but check it for yourself - you can also do it in the device menager - double click on you video card and a window will pop up - go to Details and now from the drop down list choose the secound option from the top - device ID or whatever its called in your language - check the device ID for you card Now go to the Graphics folder of the new exctracted driver - find igxp32.inf, open it go to [Intel.mfg] section - it should look like this (more or less) [Intel.Mfg] %iLPGD0% = i945G0, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2772 %iLPGD1% = i945G1, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2776 %iCLGD0% = i945GM0, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27A2 %iCLGD1% = i945GM1, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27A6 %iCLGE0% = i945GM0, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27AE %iBWGX0% = iBWG0, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2982 %iBWGX1% = iBWG1, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2983 etc. etc. etc. Now - assuming that your device ID is 2592 i would to the following - change the device id corresponding to i946GM0 to yours. This would result in %iCLGD0% = i945GM0, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2592 You can also change the GM1 driver id to your second id (2792?) but the primary display is more important. Now save the file and close it. DO NOT REBOOT YET! Uninstall the old driver (Control Panel --> add remove programs and so on - you propably know the way) Reboot. Now run setup.exe from the new drivers directory. If it works it will ask for a reboot - do it and run OpenGL Extensions viewer to see if there are any changes - OpenGL version and DirectX info on the summary page. let me know if it works please.
