Why won't HP put out an update to their Intel HD 3000 graphics card?

Hey everyone!
I love playing World of Warcraft on my DV7 Entertainment Laptop and they just did an update this past week. Now they are telling me my graphics card is outdated. I went to Intel's site and there have been a few updates from the last time my graphics card was updated in 2011.
I have read that you cant do an update from Intel's site since HP customizes their driver set ups, and I don't understand why HP hasn't done any graphics card updates in so long when they preload wow on their laptops. The gaming world is constantly evolving and needs these updates to continue playing without any issues.
Does anyone have a solution to my problem or suggestions?
Thanks!

Do me a favor first and just to be sure look in the Device Manager under Display adapters and tell me what you see. If it is switchable you will have two devices there. You should also have an AMD Catalyst Control Center or nVidia in the list of programs. If you do not have either of these, then you do not have switchable graphics and we can proceed to install the latest Intel drivers.
This is the driver package you need:
Drivers you need
This gives instructions on how to do the "force" or manual install of the graphics driver.
http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-022355.htm
As shown in the instructions pick the .zip version of the drivers. These are dated August, 2013 and are the latest for the HD 3000. I have been looking at some WOW sites talking about the new updates and do not be surprised if updating the drivers is not all you need. There is some discussion that the game may have gotten too demanding for integrated video chips and your Intel HD 3000 may not be up to handling the game any more at playable resolutions and with decent video features. But before we go there let's try the driver update. Be sure you understand before pulling the trigger on this. Post back if you need any more help.

WHY WON'T MY COMPUTER ACCEPT LATEST UPDATE

FIREFOX COMES ON MY SCREEN WITH A NEW UPDATE AND IT HIGHLY RECCOMENDS I DO SO . I AGREE BUT IT REFUSES TO ACCEPT MY UPDATE. WHY WON'T IT ACCEPT THE NEW UPDATE??

I tried creating the new user account but that didn't change anything. Neither did updating to OS X 10.4.3. It just doesn't make sense because I've had the same thing happen with tv dvd players not being able to play stuff but all the computers can and stuff like that, but my dad's computer, which is the same model as mine, can play it and mine can't. It just keeps spitting it right back out. :\ Any more suggestions? I bought the extended warranty, I might try giving Apple a call.

Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the contract was honored and I am still an AT

Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the 2 year contract was honored and I continued to be an AT&T customer with an iPhone 4. I wanted my old 3gs unlocked so my daughter could use it overseas when she is deployed. AT&T service over there *****, the international plan was not worth it. The individual SIM cards per country are much more reliable and cheaper. Teslestial in Iraq and Afghanistan, Telecom in Croatia,Vodafphone in Germany and Italy. Why Apple will not unlock these phones for our military to utilize is incomprehensible to me. These young men and women are fighting for these Apple people to go to work every day, safe, to live lives they have become accustom to yet releasing a phone to use on another network they can't do at least for the military.... WHY APPLE?? WHY? A good excuse not some of the many lame excuses I have received on the phone many times. AT&T states it is Apple that will not allow them to unlock the phones... Please tell me why? All I want Is my daughter to have a phone I trust, to be able to call me when she is given the free time to do so and I trust the apple phone.
Apple, please reconsider your stance on this issue. I am having a hard time understanding why you will not unlock the iPhone.
A simple code could allow me to talk to my daughter while fighting for our country the Great USA. Apple should be on the front line and enabling those fighting for our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness to use unlocked phones on reliable local GSM networks.
I honestly hope that someone who has some sort of authority to begin allowing the release of unlock codes, and not forcing people to unlock their phones with some program produced by some hack just to be able to use your wonderful phone. That is is in a nutshell, People love the iPhone so much that they want the ability to use it on the most reliable GSM carrier available to them. That should be a major compliment. Even men and women on the front line want your phone. I agree, my service is not the best where I live either, love the GSM technology so stay with it, but if I had the ability to change to the other GSM network that has much better coverage in this area of the country I would change. To change now I would not have my iPhone and that I will not part with.
Apple, please reconsider opening up the lock code and allow your gem of a phone to be used by many more people in many more areas and most importantly overseas fighting for our country. I know if this is really thought about Apple would understand and come to the conclusion to release the unlock codes, and stop the people from hacking in to use the iPhone on other networks.
I would love for my daughter to be able to use my iPhone 3gs while fighting for our Free country.
A response would be appreciated.
Thank you.
An Apple customer for 10 years, phones and computers.

Defiled:
I did sign a two year contract and completed that contract. The 3gs is no longer in service. My daughter is going overseas to protect you and your family. I was attempting to find a way for her to have a reliable phone that could offer her some connection with home as she travels through the middle east. She travels in missions all over.
At&T unlocks other phones of theirs why not the iPhone? AT&T says that Apple will not give them the code, it is not the carrier. If I would have known this situation would have come up I would have bought and unlocked 3gs phone"Deggie" . My main complaint is that Apple has not good excuse as to why they will not allow their phones to be unlocked from services well, AT&T . I bought the phone full price, completed the contract terms, even went for and iPhone 4 with another2 year contract, along with owning an apple computer... I love the product. My main issue is give me a good answer as to why you won't allow a phone to be unlocked. It doesn't hurt Apple, People still have to buy the phones from them, and use their App store and iTunes.
Sorry, just upset about my daughter heading over there, boots on the ground, and just pray she will be safe. Would have liked to facetime her while she is in the airports and in specific areas allowed for that.
Please don't come down on me for asking this question. I understand all the contracts etc.... but to single out the iPhone specifically to not unlock after contract is over does not seem fair.
Thank you for your responses.

HT4591 Why won't Motion give me the update to 5.0.7?

I'm running Snow Leopard and Motion 5.0.4. Software Update doesn't list anything for Motion, but the release notes say it's up to 5.0.7! Why won't Motion give me the update to 5.0.7?

Thanks! The problem I had was that I simply needed to download a new version from the App Store. I had honestly completely forgotten about the App Store. I'm on 5.0.7 now.

Why won't my iOS 7.03 update load on my iPad?

Why won't my iOS 7.03 update load on my iPad? It has said 1 minute remaining for 4-5 days. It may have not had enough room at first, but I deleted a bunch of apps so that now I have 7 GBs free.

If you can, try loading the iOS update using iTunes on your computer.

HT1338 Why won't itunes allow me to update my iphone 3gs to ios 5?

Why won't itunes allow me to update my iphone 3gs to a later version?

First, confirm that you really do have an iPhone 3GS and not a 3G:

If you really do have a 3GS, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes, 10.7, on your computer.

Why won't Log and Transfer in FCP7 recognize video files from my SD card? They were shot on a cheepo Aiptek camera.

Why won't Log and Transfer in FCP7 recognize video files from my SD card? They were shot on a cheepo Aiptek camera.

David, the camera shoots .mov files. I have the latest version of QuickTime installed but still nothing.
I teach high school, but I'm reluctant to download FCPX for my students at the moment. I may try it but I really want to stick with what we're using currently, at least for now.
iMovie started to import files, but very slowly. I guess I'm frustrated that the files shot on the Canons I also use transfer just fine, but the Aiptek camera isn't cooperating.
Would you suggest using MPEG Streamclip?
Thanks again in advance.

Macbook won't boot after installing Security Update 2008-007 (Intel)

I installed security update 2008-007 (intel) on my MacBook last night using Software Update, but now my machine won't boot at all. All I get is the gray start-up screen with the dark gray apple, but there's no spinning progress bar or anything. After 5 minutes or so, the machine auto-restarts, but again hangs on the gray start-up screen. It does this over and over again until I shut it off. I tried to boot into safe mode by holding down shift right after the chime, but it still wouldn't boot (again, not even a spinning progress bar). Can anyone please help me? I really don't want to lose my photos/movies, etc. I'll backup everything promptly if I can just get it to boot. Thanks.

Hi jared-lee, and again, a warm welcome to the forums!
First for safety, "Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

This may or may not fix the problem, but may.
Do you have another Mac around?

HELP why wont my msi z97 gaming 9 mother board find my msi N770 graphics card ?

have built a new gaming PC from scratch based around the MSI Z97 gaming 9 motherboard and the MSI NVIDIA GTX 770 graphics card i have installed all the drivers for the mother board and everything seems to be ok i have then used live update to update all the drivers and bios.
i then installed the graphics card and it powers up and the fans start but my pc isn't recognising the fact that is exists helps please

Recheck your WiFi Bluetooth expansion module connection on the board.
Recheck your MB mounting in the case, i.e. errant standoffs. Perhaps test the board outside the case on a non conductive surface to ensure no potential short exists. Then retest with the WiFi plugged in.

Why has Verizon put out an update that is breaking most people's phones?!?!

This to me is unacceptable for a company the size of Verizon! I have many friends who have a Droid X as well and every one of them have had nothing but problems with their phone after installing the update.
Something needs to be done about this by Verizon!
Did they not test this update properly?
Why are we having to do factory resets and having to basically start all over because Verizon has failed us as a responsible service providor.
Once again this is totally unacceptable to me and something has to be done by Verizon ASAP so more people won't have half of their day ruined by having to wrestle their phone after trusting the update that they are offering.
Yet again another rediculas failure by Verizon.

Pool_shark i'll have to agree with ya on that one i think there's is alott Folks that installed Gingerbread right on Top of Fro-Yo an there issue's there having stims from this. Now i'm not saying they dont no what there doing or such i'm just saying they might be
alittle Mis-informed. if would'nt be for me discovering the forum this back in Oct. of last year i might be doing the same thing an puting on updates without doing a factorie resets an if it was.nt for you Pool ,an Cody , Wildman ,Geri , Demmo , Budone ,an Ann i
still might be lost on several things. But by reading an asking Qeustions has helped me Tramendously an i think if the folks that are having these issues would Do alittle researching as i did ask Questions as i Did an i think they'ed be further along an
wouldn't be so upset with there Phones But some has to Remember as much as we want them to be perfect that just is'nt going to happen they'll be close. Though.
