Windows 8 Intel 965/965GM Driver

Different drivers = different result, that's what happened if you try to install intel graphic 965/965GM and failed. Windows 8 driver base on my experience is compatible with windows 7 driver, and windows 7 did support Intel 965/965GM Graphic chip. So I list several methods to install Intel 965/965GM Windows 8 Driver.

Go to this page http://downloadcenter.intel.com/ and click on the CONTINUE button under the Intel automatic update utility. It will prompt you to install something and install it, wait until detection finish and install the recommended driver. (You must have java installed).

3. Use original Windows 7 Driver

-Install using compatibility mode-
Right click on the setup, or installation file, select properties - compatibility - and set to windows 7. Right click again and select run as admin to install.

-Manual Installation-
a) Extract the driver files.
b) Open device manager, right click on standard VGA and select UPDATE DRIVER.
c) Select BROWSE MY COMPUTER FOR DEVICE DRIVER.
d) Select browse and point to the driver folder we extracted earlier.
