I must preface this by saying that I am not great with computers. Baby talk appreciated.
So I noticed my laptop's graphic driver was version 8.17 something and from March 2011. When I attempted to use your site to upgrade to the 15. something version, I was first told my computer didn't meet minimum requirements. The next day, I did not encounter that and instead got very far into the installation process when I received error code 8007045d which told me I couldn't install one or more drivers for some unknown reason.
So being the genius I am, I got it into my head to roll back my driver to 2006 status which royally screwed me. Now when I try to reupdate to the 2011 driver I had before, it tells me it cannot due to an I/O issue. I've tried running a chkdsk, I've restarted my laptop multiple times, and I've even run a full virus scan with MSE to no avail.
Fixing my driver is not only important for basic-tier gaming, but I need it to help operate my external monitor that I require due to an accident that shattered my laptop's screen months ago. However, this problem started when I tried to update drivers so don't get any ideas. But some context may be helpful. A few months after I bought this brand new inspiron, my wireless adapter just out of nowhere crapped out before I had any other issues including the screen. I took it to multiple IT people at my university who confirmed I needed to buy an external wireless adapter. Basically I think my computer's a dud half the time.
Anyway, my specs:
OS: 64-bit Windows 7 with service pack 1
Laptop: Dell Inspiron N5050
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2350M CPU @ 2.30 GHz 2.3 GHz with 4.00 GB of RAM
Current Driver: Standard VGA Graphics Adapter version 6.1.7600.16385
Old Driver: Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 version 8.17
Thanks, you guys are the bomb.
