I have a:
Sony Vaio VPCEG16FM
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Graphics: Intel HD 3000 (Fully updated using "Have disk" method a few times)
And what happens is I get the pleasure of reading the messages when first launching the game, then I get to the loading screen and it crashes. Usually the Black Box doesn't even show up.
OK so I rolled back the driver to the previous version and the game worked except I had the "tiny white dot problem." This made me come look at the forums again and the apparent solution was update it again.
So I did the "have disk" method once again from Intel.com (version 2509) and then I was back to the first error. Maybe Intel made a terrible new driver.
One thing I must note is that everytime I install the new driver, after restart, there are security warnings asking if it's okay to run igfxtray.exe and hkcmd.exe
Sounds like the installation of the drivers are not done properly, it should not give security warnings like that. Could be a permission problem with the user or file system.
