Hello I have an issue with my intel hd graphics card in my Dell Studio 1558. I have reinstalled windows 7 ultimate x64 on it and everything works fine except the graphics card. Before the restore my gaming graphics score was a 4.6 and When I try to install the drivers by updating them it installs Intel HD Graphics Media Acceletator(which only gives me 2.2) rather than The Intel HD graphics that used to be the display adapter. I have found this driver on the intel website but it says it is protected by cdc and you have to have a business account to download it? Is there any way around this? Thanks for you help ahead of time. :wahoo:

But it did not use the Intel Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator HD before I reinstalled windows, And in the Device manager it said Intel HD Graphics. However on the driver disc tha came with the laptop it has the drivers for Intel Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator HD. And I believe it cannot be the same drivers if im only getting 2.2 on the windows rating and my fps on counterstrike source was locked at 10 and could not go higher. Is there any other reason this could be?
