    Get your updated drivers directly from your PC manufacturer's website.

    It depends on the card. You can get them from us. Intel has abandoned the graphic market last I knew and when they were in it, they were the joke of the industry. That said, updating drivers should never, EVER, change your pc to make it need to be validated again. I promise you, it was a coincidence and there's another reason.

    Never heard of Maxdrivers, try the new Iobit one: http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/iobit_driver_booster.html

    Just used yesterday and it got all my Intel graphics, wireless, LAN and motherboard drivers for me on a machine I formatted.

    Latest video driver for you should be: http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/intel_hd_graphics_driver.html

    Do you mean DriverMax? I have used it for many years (since version 1.0), and I never had any problems with it.

    forgot to mention that driver max did not create the problem I was also using slim driver which is what caused the actual the deactivation

    I think that you should try the lobbit 1 mentioned by the other member earlier on because it updates on the drivers for you with drivermax you have to do it manually 1 by 1
