Issue:
When a system with the Intel® 810 chipset family or Intel® 815 chipset family graphics drivers is upgraded to Microsoft* Windows* XP, in some cases the Windows XP Upgrade Advisor may report that "Intel® Graphics Technology (in Control Panel)" does not support Windows XP. The full details report indicates that the user should upgrade this item prior to installing Windows XP. This issue only occurs when upgrading from Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, or Windows Me.
Since graphics drivers are specific to the particular operating system that is currently installed, the graphics drivers cannot be upgraded prior to installing Windows XP.
Explanation:
This warning indicates that the "Intel Graphics Technology" icon in Control Panel will be disabled during the upgrade process, as described by Microsoft Knowledgebase article ID Q283551
†. It does not mean the graphics drivers will stop functioning in Windows XP.
Solution:
The user should continue with the installation of Windows XP. Graphics drivers for the Intel 810 and 815 chipset families are included with Windows XP. To restore the "Intel Graphics Technology" icon to Control Panel, the user can install the 6.4.1 or later graphics drivers, available from support.intel.com, after the upgrade to Windows XP is complete.
