T41 to R51 transplant, video driver issues...

#1 Post by Datashifter » Tue Nov 17, 2015 10:49 am

Ok, last night I transplanted an R51 Intel graphics-based motherboard into my T41. Things went swimmingly well. Everything works, however I cannot seem to find a way to get the graphics drivers installed. Running Windows 7 Pro.

Anyone able to provision help? Upon searching, I found some threads with driver links but the links are from circa 2009 and are now nonfunctional.

Have you tried our Forum's Drivers link at the top of this page?

Yep. The latest version available there crashed out on me. Am currently using a slightly older revision at the moment but was hoping to get the latest version installed.

Having video driver issues on my t41p as well with windows 7.
I have downloaded and installed the latest driver from the Lenovo support site but I can't get Aero theme to work and I get a score of 1.0 in the WEI.
I uninstall the driver and let windows find the proper driver and it does successfully, Aero theme works fine and the WEI score is 3.7, but after a while screen starts to flicker (especially on the top of the screen). Uninstall the driver and the flickering goes away...
I don't know what to do next. I do want Aero theme working to be honest...
