Re: After updating graphics driver, Sims 3 will not successfuly change resolutions

I found my solution. Since at first I couldn't rollback my driver, I did this:


1. Go to Control Panel --> Device Manager --> Display Adapter

2. Then I clicked the Intel HD 4000 adapter, clicked "Update driver"


3. Clicked " Browse my computer for driver"  --> then "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"

4. Then instead of using intel's driver, click "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter".

Now it works fine! I think the drivers are incompatible with windows 8. I had to do the same thing with Windows 8.1 on my desktop for my wifi adapter. Instead of working with the company's driver, I had to use microsoft's basic driver.
