X200 4500MHD driver for Windows 8 / 8.1

#1 Post by radudroid » Thu Dec 12, 2013 10:07 am

Hello,

After installing Windows 8.1 I was disappointed with intel support for the aforementioned graphics card (no opengl, thus no minecraft :) ), so I decided to have a go at trying to install the Windows 7 drivers, and managed to do so. Anyone else interested in a tutorial and drivers?

Here it goes:

If on 64bit version, restart without driver signature enforcement: http://www.meible.com/2013/10/disable-d ... nt-in.html
Download the modified drivers: http://www.mediafire.com/download/au321 ... Win8.1.rar
Install the drivers via device manager:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/19358 ... river.html

The driver will install, with opengl support, but the control panel app will not install (no systray menu, no dedicated icon in control panel). Also remember that if windows update will change the driver, you have to repeat the manual installation.

Tell me how it goes for you, and if you need more details, please contact me.
