  1. How to adjust resolution with microsoft basic display driver?


    Hi All, Due to any kind of compatibility issue, I need to use microsoft basic display driver rather than chipset vendor's driver. But the MS basic display driver just supports 800x600 resolution only. Plz advice how can I use 1920x1200 resolution with this driver. Thank you.

    :)

  2. Microsoft Basic Display Driver Urgent

    As you should be aware Intel just recently announced on twitter (search gma3600) that there will be no windows 10 drivers for the gma 3600 video cards. Now as default windows loads the Microsoft Basic Display Driver which works really well but limits the
    screen to 800x600 max. The system i'm using is a 1025c asus n2800 netbook with a 1024x600 screen. I've seen other users on here referencing that the Microsoft Basic Display Driver works at 1024x768 and above but seems fixed on 4:3 aspect ratio selections.
    These observations suggest to me that the driver can happily go above 800x600 but 1024x600 is just an unsupported resolution for the Microsoft Basic Display Driver. Which brings me finally to my request.

    Could you please add 1024x600 to the Microsoft Basic Display Driver as a valid selectable resolution so everyone who uses a 1024x600 screen with a gma3600 can run windows 10?

    Thanks

    Addendum:

    After some testing trying to load multiple windows 7 gma3600 drivers all of them result in a bsod or the drivers just do not load. Please microsoft 15 people so far have voted this question up. This Microsoft Basic Display Driver tweak is the only option
    for gma36XX users and there will be lots more out there. If you want windows 10 adoption things like this are deal breakers.

  3. Microsoft Basic Display Driver Urgent

    Windows Vista and 7 used to allow some XP drivers to work in XDDM mode. Is there a reason why Windows 10 doesn't allow it?

    Windows 7's Microsoft Basic Display Driver, or VGA Safe or whatever it was called at the time, allowed high resolution monitors to operate at their native resolution, including some of my 1920x1200 screens. Is there a reason why Windows 10's Microsoft Basic
    Display Driver supports so very few resolutions?

    I downloaded Intel's last driver for the 915GM, which was designed for XP. Microsoft's compatibility troubleshooter automatically detected that XP SP3 would be a good compatibility setting for the INSTALLER of that driver. Good work by Microsoft's user-mode
    compatibility developer. However, when Windows tried to switch over to that driver, an unknown error occurred (which was surely due to withdrawal of XDDM support) so Windows switched back to Microsoft's Basic Display Driver, which only goes up to 1280x1024.

    Why not let the Basic Display Driver handle whatever resolution the monitor actually has?

    Microsoft Basic Display Driver Urgent

    My NOTEbook with Intel GMA 3600 using Microsoft Basic Display Adapter Driver not displayed the 1024x600 (4:3) resolution option. My others laptops using the same Microsoft Basic Display Adapter (with Nividia, Catalyst ...) displayed it. Why ?
