Intel(r) 855gm Chipset Windows 7

This is for laptop owners such as me who have the Dell 700M laptop or any computer using the integrated Intel mobile 852/855 graphics adapter from Intel.
The drivers released by Intel for Windows XP are incompatible with Windows 7. While there is compatibility for this device in Windows Vista, attempting to install these drivers in Windows 7 Beta 1 or alpha builds will result in a black screen on reboot. This can be solved by hard powering the system down and rebooting it, you will then be using the compatibility driver from Microsoft once again.
For compatibility Windows 7 uses the Standard VGA Adapter with a max screen resolution of 1200x1024. If the BIOS setting is correct, the system will stretch the screen automatically to compensate for this but you still will not have the ability to use higher wide screen resolutions.
It is unlikely Dell or Intel will release a fix for this problem, since the 700M Laptop is old by today's standards. The driver was probably using the Windows XP Display Driver Model (XPDM) and not WDDM (Vista) anyway.
