Acer Aspire 3620 Graphics issues Intel 910/915gm

Thread Starter 
I'm experiencing problems in Windows 7 & Debian Squeeze.
When watching videos on hulu my machine freezes and is non-responsive.
Lately my laptop has been freezing on regular bases.
I have been searching for windows7 driver which isn't available and there was no XPDM released. Also WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER complains about not having 64M memory reserved, it shows that it is capable but only 8M memory is reserved.
Is trhere a way to make the 64M available(adjust memory allocation) on the present windows7 driver?
I have not researched the problem in Debian as I just learned that it happens there also, but with 2 Os'es having same problem I'm wondering if it's hardware issue now.

Try updating the chipset driver? You might have to try to force a manual installation of the driver

I have read that vista drivers would work but for the 910/915 Intel isn't showing that it supports it beyond xp, so I believe installing vista driver is not an option. Is there an alternative or are you saying to force install the latest xp driver?

I haven't been able to get it to work in fact I have searched for intel 915 drivers that are vista capable it appears that 915 only works upto xp, but still trying to get it to work.
I did install the inf update which allows me to update everything except 915.
As far as hulu it is too resource hungry for my machine even in Debian. My machine works well with all the you tube videos and DVD's so my conclusion is that my main problem with hulu is not the driver but the machine, because my Debian os is upto-date.
But I still want the wins 7 installlation to have the latest drivers, so I'm going to continue working on that, just to say I did it.
