So we dont do anything about this one?

I don't know, I told you the propable possibilities, but I doubt we'll find a slick official solution for this.

rgr that.
For the time being at least...

Bâshrat the Sneaky, its need to verify that problem on some notebooks, I think. May be it usual hardware problem.

Well, thing is, these modded mobility drivers will usually work on most notebook HW, but definately not on all.

That exactly is the reason why, ususally, you have to rely on the manufacturer supplied driver (you know, those that are a year's version behind the official GFX card makers') for full support.

In most cases, the modified INI will do the trick, but it's no guarantee.

Only solution I see in this case is to include the actual, manufacturer-supplied drivers.
However, as they are obsolete in most cases and also would have to be included on a per-model base, this would blow up the DP's size enormously.
I guess it's a better idea if those who have to rely on these drivers (probabaly just a few percent, haven't had a case where the modded drivers did not work myself) include them via a selfmade 3rdP DP.

Oh and write angry (but polite!) emails to your NB's manufacturer to finally update those drivers!

If I were you, I'd just let the problem rest. Some things cannot be resolved. And let's face it, Medion isn't exactly known for their after sales support... You should not expect help from that side.

The bad thing is, it's my girls laptop and she's in the UK for a traineeship, she uses the laptop for work and as tv. So she couldn't leave it here (NL) for me to test more. I know someone else with the same laptop, but he lives a bit far. But I will have to test with his laptop otherwise this will never get figured out.

hmm I could try ask my girl to create a backup, do test A and copy the drivers, then put her backup back... hmm will she have enough girlpower to do that
I'll report later.
Thanks for the response!

I've had many many PC problems, both hardware and software, but I cannot solve this.. can't find any info either.. very strange.
If test A would also give the problems, at least I could send the laptop to Medion..

Since it doesn't seem to be caused by the driverpacks, this thread may be closed.

And here and here you can find the chipsetdriver and the videocard driver for this laptop.

I am going to make a new nlite cd without removing any of the videocard drivers, not integrating the driverpacks. then test if I can install the videocard normally.
Also I know the issue during setup, seeing a New Hardware Found window, can be fixed with KB883667 but I need the NLD version.

tested my cd on several other laptops and pcs, no problem there.
I tried a clean WinXP Pro SP2, after that I installed the drivers (Chipset first, always restart after each driver) from the drivers folder on the Medion Recovery partition... Everything went fine UNTILL I installed Graphics, after rebooting I got the same problems.

I tried the Medion Windows MCE (clean, no software/drivers will be installed) and installed the drivers after Windows setup manually. Same result after installing Graphics.

I tried Medion Recovery dvd, this is a backup from Medion so drivers etc. are already installed.
Here everything works fine! with the Graphics installed ofcourse!

I cannot do testing anymore, my girl leaves tomorrow with the notebook for a few months to England. I have installed everything, did the drivers manually EXCEPT graphics driver. Already tried flash games (bejeweled etc) they work fine... (without graphics installed.
I will test today if she will at least be able to watch dvd and xvid... I really hope so otherwise she will kill me.

If someone else has this laptop please test! I'll report the hwids tonight/morrow.
I have written about this more extensively in the Dutch Got:
