Thinkpads Forum

In the past, when I installed Windows 7 32-bit on my Intel 4:3 T61 machines, the Windows Install program correctly installed "Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1)" as my Display Adapter (shown in Device Manager).

Now, after I installed Windows 7 64-bit on my nVidia 4:3 T61 machine, the Windows Install program has incorrectly installed "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" as my Display Adapter.

I presume that I will need to install Lenovo driver for Chipset, but which one?
7tr104ww.exe
7tr204ww.exe
oss924ww.exe


I presume that I will need to install Lenovo driver for Display Adapter. Is this one correct for 64-bit?
7kd804ww.exe

I think that I've answered my own question about the correct Display Adapter driver.

But still, I am confused about the Chipset driver:
What is the indicator to tell me whether there is a need to install the Chipset driver?
In my instance, should I simply install only the Display Adapter driver, or should I install both?
Is it a requirement that the Chipset driver is to be installed before the Display Adapter driver?

Generally, the "chipset" driver is not strictly a driver. It is more a list of things which tells Windows what may be needed. Sometimes you can do without it, but there is no harm in installing it.

The first two items on your list (7tr***) are related to AMT (Management Engine). Unless you care about that aspect of your laptop, they should not be mandatory.

Now I am reviewing the Device Manager on my Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit Intel 4:3 T61 machine, I see that "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" is installed as my Display Adapter, as well.

So, I will install oss924ww.exe on my Intel graphics T61 and nVidia graphics T61 machines.

Then, I will install 7ld803ww.exe on my Intel graphics T61 running 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2.

And finally, I will install 7kd804ww.exe on my nVidia graphics T61 running 64-bit Windows 7 Pro.

While I am discussing drivers...

I am planning to install 7kd213.ww.exe for SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio Sound driver on both machines.

I am planning to install 6hgx81ww.exe for ThinkPad UltraNav Pointing Device driver on both machines (6hgx50ww.exe is the previous version).

I am planning to install 7vgq14ww.exe as ThinkPad UltraNav Utility program on both machines.

The remaining devices will be using Microsoft drivers from their respective Windows OS install.

FWIW, I always get the graphics drivers directly from nVidia's site and have yet to face a problem with them. Obviously, YMMV.
