Windows 7 x64 video driver needed

[dar124]

I'm in the process of configuring LightsOut on my WHS 2011 server, but I'm having an issue that hopefully someone here can help me with. The option in the LightsOut calendar to suspend/hibernate the server in is grayed out. After a bit of googling, I think that it's because I just have the standard VGA graphics driver installed. I've read a few articles saying in order to be able to hibernate I would need a Windows 7 x64 graphics driver to be installed.

But ... I'm not sure exactly which driver I would need or where to download it from?? In the past I either had a disk or the OS has pretty much found every driver it needed.

Thanks in advance.

if it is the WHS system in your sig these should work:

if you have a different system I'd need to know

Thanks, undermined. Yep, it is the server in my signature.

I'll download those and give them a try tomorrow.

Ok, so I went to the link above and downloaded the driver file named win7_1512754. And when I tried to run it I get an error "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software. Setup will exit."

I did a bit of searching and I dont think that the previous link was the 64bit driver?? So I found http://downloadcenter.intel.com/confirm.aspx?httpDown=http://downloadmirror.intel.com/18228/a08/win7_64_1512754.exe&lang=eng&Dwnldid=18228 and that one did the trick!!!
