SL says it won't run because my video drivers are out of date.
I have an Intel 945GM with driver 6.14.19.4814 of 3/30/2007.

If I click on Update Driver, it says this is the most up to date
on that there is (Windows Update is the source).

Now what?

Your PC manufacturer may have newer drivers than you can get through Windows Update. Check their web site.

What you have is an Intel graphics chipset that is not disigned for heavy graphics usage. It's something that will show pictures and streaming video for a casual user of such graphics. I won't handle the heavy, intense, real time rendering that SL requires. If you get it to work, it will be less than satisfactory.

Windows update is not the place to look for drivers........go to Intel's website and look for driver downloads. Don't be surprised if after you do that it still won't work though.
