This utility however does not configure the driver. Please be sure to update your ssigd.inf file with appropriate settings for your display configuration prior to installation. The installation program requires specific file names, so if you have a different INF file for driver installation, you must name it ssigd.inf and place it in the Drivers folder prior to running the installation. Do not move or alter the directories after unzipping the release package. The installation utility uses relative path information, and must be run from the Utilities folder, and also requires the Driver folder. If the folders are moved or renamed, the installation utility will not operate properly. Also, be sure to not install this version of the driver with an existing installation of a previous version of the driver. The installation utility will not uninstall previous versions of the Intel Embedded Graphics Driver, and you must begin from a fresh operating system installation. Results are unpredictable if you install over a previous version of the Intel Embedded Graphics Driver. To run the installation, simply run the Setup.exe program located in the Utilities folder of the installation. This must run from the Utilities folder. If you are running Microsoft Windows NT*, you must instead run SetupNT.exe. To uninstall this version of Intel Embedded Graphics Driver, run the Setup.exe program (or SetupNT.exe for Microsoft Windows NT). Software Errata =============== Please see the errata document included with this release for errata details.
