Subject: XP SP2 Upgrade caused black screen

Original Message

Subject: XP SP2 Upgrade caused black screen
OS: XP SP 2
CPU/Ram: Celeron 896 MHz, 256 MB R
Comment:
Background:
Intel has stopped supporting the Intel 82815 Graphics Controller and does not support any OS above XP
Upgrading to SP2 causes laptops with 82815 to display a black screen

Workaround:
Press F8 at startup to use VGA mode and then adjust the video properties manually after you get video and can see the screen

Question:
Does anyone know a third-party driver for Intel 82815 that supports SP2?

System:
XP SP2
Dell Inspiron 2500
Intel 82815 Graphics Controller driver 6.13.1.3196
Intel Celeron 896 MHz
256 MB RAM

Had the same problem on a customer's computer - Go into the bios (F2 at startup) and change from simultaneous display mode to lcd only.

Should work from now on!
