Upon installation of windows 7:
//// Turn off UAC!!!!!! //////
1. Run Command Prompt as Admin.
2. Type & Enter : "Bcdedit /set nointegritychecks on"
3. Type & Enter : "Bcdedit /set loadoptions ddisable_integrity_checks"
4. Device Manager >> Uninstall Both Video Controller & And Standard VGA.
5. Go into msconfig and in the "boot" tab Check "Safe Mode".
6. Restart and go into safe mode.
7. Device manager >> Right click on vga standard drivers and pick "update driver software..."
8. Choose to browse for driver, choose the "let me pick..." option, click "have disk..." button, point to "ialmnt5.inf" in "win2000" folder, and install 82852/82855 driver
9. After installation is complete, click "scan for hardware changes" and let it update itself until it simply stops updating - it'll be a minute or so after a pair of 82852/82855 drivers show up without yellow "!"'s on them.
10. Go back into MSconfig and uncheck Safe Mode.
11. Restart and boot normally, windows will configure drivers, and after ~1 minute, you're good to go!

• For some reason you might need to restart alot of times before your video card decides to accept the driver. Just have patience =)
• And the way to know your drives are installed is when your cursor looks all fuzzy and messy. To remove that just Right click Desktop >> Screen Resolution >> Advanced Settings >> Troubleshoot >> Change Settings. Now just lower the Hardware Acceleration down one before full and apply settings. now your fine!.

To have screen Rotation working Open up your Regedit and go here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Intel\CUI\DISPLAY1\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Intel\CUI\DISPLAY2\

In both add New dword called "EnableRotation" set Value to 1. Restart and it should be working.

All other drivers should be automatically installed with Updates.

Hope this helps!

Most of this info was dug up from these forums but i just made it all in 1 thread so it'll be easier for others to find.

Hi RosettaStoned717,

Thank you a lot for your clear and detailed explanation!

After unsuccesfully trying the suggestions from other posts, I precisely followed your steps and I finally have the Intel 82852/82855 drivers working on Windows 7 Build 7600 on an old Acer Travelmate 660. This allowed me to set the native laptop resolution of 1400x1050.

Thanks again for sharing the information.
