this computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software (HP Pavilion G6, Intel HD Graphics driver)

I have an HP Pavilion G6, which I upgraded to Windows 8. Here are the specs for the system:

When I upgraded I noticed some fps (frames per second) drop and ping rise on one of my favourite games, Ace of Spades. This game is remarkably simple, and as the developers put it "your grandmother's rig could run this game". Before the upgrade, the game ran fine. After, the fps decrease and ping increase led me to believe the graphics(fps)/network(ping) drivers might be to blame, so I went to the HP site to download the updated Windows 8 graphics and network drivers, link here:

When I tried to install them, I got this message for both:

"this computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software"

Remember, this is the driver supplied by HP for MY computer. I could not have gotten it wrong. HP Product # A3J86UA.

Puzzled, I headed to the Intel site, to see if I could download updated Windows 8 drivers from there. When I do a search for a driver, there are NO Windows 8 drivers. Why is this?

Try this driver

http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/GRAPHICS-BOARD/INTEL/Intel-HD-Graphics-Driver-815102858-for-Windows-8-x64.shtml Intel HD Graphics Driver 8.15.10.2858 for Windows 8 x64

I've actually since found that driver and installed it, but still have lag issues in game, and my network drivers are all up to date. I had no such issues with Windows 7. What could my problem be?

Hi Brian,

I'm glad you were able to locate some drivers for your machine. Intel® does not provide Windows 8 drivers for 1st Generation Intel® HD Graphics™. They either come default with the Win8 operating system, or are downloaded through windows update.

Thanks,
