Video Drivers for Studio 1555 Laptop
My computer is a Studio 1555 laptop.
Graphics: Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2Ghz (Centrino)
What I used to have:
Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit - worked fine, but slow
Ubuntu 12 (dual booted) - worked fine
All of my games worked on both OS!
OpenGL worked perfectly.
What I have now: (after clean install)
Windows 8 Pro 32bit (System properties says I have 32bit OS, but a x64 based processor for some reason).
Ubuntu 12 (dual booted)
Although OpenGL is apparently installed - I found C:\Windows\System32\opengl32.dll, it's not working anymore - Blender refuses to render with OpenGL.
Some 3D games work, but the majority of them won't. All of the Counter Strike games menus open fine, but when you load a map they lag to 1/2 a frame a second with looping audio. This is a problem on both OS. I think this is because of OpenGL but I'm probably missing more drivers. I can't find the right download for OpenGL anywhere, and the Dell drivers site didn't have what I needed.
Any suggestions? Any more details I should put up?
Thanks in advance.

Hi ff0273ac72ca710c,
Dell has not tested Windows 8 Operating system on this system. Hence there are no required drivers available. Some of the advanced features may or may not work.
However you may try to do Windows update and check.
