- I also note that in the 'Installatin Read Me.txt' for the driver you sugested it says that system requirements are for a GL40 Express Chipset which according to the details from Acers website (above) it has.
- Additionally, based on the availability of Graphics Drivers for Mobile Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset Family at Intel® Download Center I can confirm the supported Operating Systems are Windows* XP, Windows Vista*, Windows Server* 2003, Windows Server* 2008, and Windows 2000*.
Jan 01, 2018 Can any one help me where do I get intel gma chipset express 4 family KEXT for osx lion installed on my laptop Its a dual boot macosx lion + win vista My current display is coming only 1024 X 768 when I start in mac osx.
I have a Acer Aspire 5738Z with the below spec:
Tech Support Guy System Info Utility version 1.0.0.2
OS Version: Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Home Premium, Service Pack 2, 32 bit
Processor: Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4200 @ 2.00GHz, x64 Family 6 Model 23 Stepping 10
Processor Count: 2
RAM: 2999 Mb
Graphics Card: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family, 0 Mb
Hard Drives: C: Total - 295242 MB, Free - 5092 MB;
Motherboard: Acer, JV50
Antivirus: Prevx 3.0, Updated: Yes, On-Demand Scanner: Enabled
I am not 100% but I think(?) that http://www.prevx.com/ may have found some false positives and deleted them (I have used Prevx for years and have always trusted it hence the willingness to jsut delete anything it found. I have already tried to undo the cleanup etc but to no avail.
The problem I have is that under Device Manager the Display Adapter is showing a yellow exclamation mark against the two entries for 'Graphics Card: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family'. With an error 39 (Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing). When I try to change the display settings (as the resolution has changed for the worst) I cannot change the resolution. Display Settings> Advanced Settings>Adapter Type>Properties shows VGASAVE. (Images attached)
I suspect PrevX may have removed a file needed by the drivers (binary, I/O?) as I have downloaded the latest drivers from Intel (using ther utility) and tried the safe mode route of unistalling and reinstalling the drivers etc bt nothing works.
Other things I have tried are:
sfc scannow (cant see anything in there that is causing a problem?)
chkdsk /f & /r
Tried looking for and deleting upper and lower filters against display in regedit but no value found.
My last resort is to use Acers eRecovery system but was wondering if I could avoid that as I think that even though it doesn't delete user files it does delete programs and throws all personnal data in a backup folder on C:
Any suggestions please?

Name changes
Intel® Chipset Device Software is the new name for the Intel® Chipset Software Installation Utility; this name will be seen when running the installation package.
About this file/download
The Intel® Chipset Device Software installs the Windows* INF files. An INF is a text file that provides the operating system with information about a piece of hardware on the system. In the case of the current Intel Chipset Device Software, that information is primarily the product name for the piece of hardware. This allows the operating system to show the correct name for that piece of hardware in Device Manager.
**Important**
The Intel Chipset Device Software does not install drivers for AGP or USB. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS UTILITY IF YOUR DEVICE MANUFACTURER IS RECOMMENDING IT TO CORRECT AN 'AGP DRIVER,' 'AGP GART,' OR 'USB DRIVER' ISSUE; IT WILL NOT CORRECT YOUR ISSUE.
