There is a forum topic at Intel "Can't go to driver page"

New drivers for Intel HD Graphics (for Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge) are available at Intel's download center.

Versions:

• Windows 7 / Vista: 8.15.10.2712
  
• Windows XP: 6.14.10.5404

But now the big disappointment: The .zip-Files are password-protected.

those ZIP files are no longer available.  they're now EXE files AND they are no longer password protected (yay!)

Update 4/30: thanks for all your help, Andi and Stefan.  the generic 2712 drivers for Vista/Win7 and the 5404 drivers for WinXP are now publicly available from Intel and are downloadable - password free.

unlike the OEM specific 2712 drivers provided by HP, Acer and Toshiba (which I tried, modded the INF file and failed on my Dell Inspiron 620 desktop PC), the generic Intel 2712 driver supports hardware IDs beginning with DEV_0102 and DEV_010A.  The OEM 2712 drivers didn't have support for hardware with IDs 0102 and 010A.

Windows Vista / 7 Graphics Driver:

8.15.10.2712 version is not for the laptop graphic processor but restricted to only desktop processor so it is not the latest driver for laptop processor.

the latest VGA driver for laptop is still  8.15.10.2696

apology accepted, bodmas.  next time download the latest generic Intel HD graphics drivers from the Intel web site (when they become available) and check their INF files first before making comments about them.

@Andi_84: yup, I did found out that Intel released the 6.14.10.5707 driver for WinXP on their web site and it's in their search engine when I did a recent search on Intel HD Graphics drivers.

although the folks at the Station-drivers site are currently not aware about this unexpected but recent change that those password-protected ZIP file downloads for versions 6.14.10.5404 & 8.15.10.2712 of the Intel HD Graphics graphics have been removed by Intel and replaced them with password-free EXE downloads (station-drivers still link to those ZIP files which are now gone).  that may soon change.

Intel has posted the HD 3000/HD 4000 beta drivers for Windows 8 CP on the Download center. Surprisingly enough, and in contradiction with the statements in the Release notes, they do install on Windows 7. Real beta drivers - no WHQL.

Version number: 9.17.10.2729

[LSudlow]

It does install, but it's not installing the W8 driver. From the release notes:

Quote

This driver package contains version 15.28.0.64.2729 (9.17.10.2729) for Windows 7

[teerex]

There is only one driver file inside the package. You can draw the logical conclusion from that.

As for changes introduced, this driver (file) is almost 6 MB slimmer than 2712 (14>8).

[gr9zev]

Hi,
why would the installer say "The system doesn't meet the minimal requirements"? (Chipset 5 Series/ 3400 on Sony Vaio Z12, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0046&SUBSYS_905A104D&REV_02)?

Likely because the recent batch of IGP drivers are made for 2nd and 3rd generations of Intel Core CPUs, while the 5 series chipsets are made for 1st generation Core CPUs.

that's because version 9.17.10.2729 of that driver does NOT support your hardware, gr9zev.
just like as what tribaljet was saying earlier.

your hardware ID begins with PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0046

supported hardware device ID #s for Intel HD Graphics driver v9.17.10.2729 (as I've checked the igdlh64.inf file myself):

%iSNBGM1%  = iSNBM0, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0106
%iSNBGD1%  = iSNBD0, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0102
%iSNBGM2%  = iSNBM0, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0116
%iSNBGD2%  = iSNBD0, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0112
%iSNBGM2P%  = iSNBM0, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0126
%iSNBGD2P% = iSNBD0, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0122
%iSNBGD3%  = iSNBD0, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_010A
%iIVBGD0%	   = iIVBD0, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0162
%iIVBGM0%	   = iIVBM0, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0166
%iIVBGD0SRV%	= iIVBD0, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_016A
%iIVBGD0GT1%	= iIVBD0, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0152
%iIVBGM0GT1%	= iIVBM0, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0156
%iIVBGD0SRVGT1% = iIVBD0, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_015A

DEV_0046 ain't on the list (just like my brother's Sony VAIO VPCEB44FX laptop which uses Intel HD graphics hardware using a hardware device id beginning with "0046") in that INF file.  therefore, you won't be able to install that newest driver [9.17.10.2729] on your computer.

sorry gr9zev.  you'll have to use Intel HD Graphics driver version 8.15.10.2622 (aka. v15.22.54.2622 or v15.22.54.64.2622), which is the latest one that supports your intel graphics hardware.

although I could potentially install v9.17.10.2729 of the Intel HD Graphics driver on my Dell Inspiron 620 desktop computer (which has hardware ID# beginning with PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0102), I chose not to install that one.  I'm happy with the 2712 build.

that download is for the 64bit version of Windows 8 only and doesn't contain the 32bit version of the driver.
