Just thought i would let everyone know that there is a newer version for the intel integrated graphics driver located directly at the intel site. It is for Vista-64bit.

I had stability issues with the igfx driver v7.14.10.1244 while using Vista 64-bit. I then located the new driver from the Intel site and verified that it was in fact stable in Vista 64-bit with another member from another board.

The newer igfx driver is v7.14.10.1283, which is compatible with Vista 64-bit.

Info about the driver:

Download location:

As a side note, the brightness OSD is not compatible with either version of the igfx driver. The brightness OSD works perfectly fine when the driver is uninstalled.
