To manually install the Intel® Graphics Driver in the Windows XP* operating system, follow these steps:

Caution

Intel supplies generic versions of its graphics drivers for general purposes, but the computer manufacturer can change the features, incorporate customizations, or make other changes to the graphics driver software or software packaging. To avoid any potential installation incompatibilities, Intel recommends that you first check with your computer manufacturer and use the driver software it provides.

1. Download the graphics driver ZIP file.
2. Unzip the file to a designated location or folder using these steps:
   1. Right-click the ZIP file.
   2. Click Extract All (or select WinZip* and an Extract option).
   3. Follow the prompts to extract or unpack the files to a folder of your choice. The folder should have the unpacked items such as the example in Figure 1.
