I have the intel g33/g31 chipset family on my compaq, and when my wife
plays her sims 3 game it crashes and says the graphics drive failed. So
I went to update my driver at intel.com, but intel says my computer has
custome graphics and the upgrades wont work, and they realy dont. So i
messed with my computer a little and found a website that should have my
updates called lenovo, when I go there I cant find my computer or
anything to do with my system. What do I have to do to get my
updates??? Please help!!!

Intel "shared memory" graphics and Windows drivers are the bottom of the
bucket for video. In fact anything with "shared memory" in the video
area is crap.

Sort of like buying a Vette and then putting a Briggs and Straton under
the hood.

By an nVidia video card, say with 512M of dedicated memory.
