Windows 7 won't recognize Intel HD 4600 IGP after Universal Restore
After Universal Restore from AMD system (Phoenix MBR BIOS) to Intel UEFI, Device Manager showed HD 4600 as unable to start because of lack of resources (Code 12) even though all drivers from Gigabyte driver disc had been installed. I had removed all traces of old AMD/ATI drivers prior to loading the new drivers and even gone through the registry and deleted all keys related to the old old ones. After several reboots the HD 4600 completely disappeared and was replaced by the MS standard display driver.
I tried running Windows 7 Sp1 from Windows over the top of my restored system as an upgrade and that solved the problem, but a) my system doubled in size from 27.7 GB to 55.4 GB, and b) several of my programs were relocated by the upgrade and couldn't be found. Unfortunately I can't find my original install discs and/or some have license codes so old I can't install new versions (my main reason for using Universal Restore in the first place!). I also tried a fresh install which of course worked just fine, except for the aforementioned program disc/license code problem and that my system was 45 GB BEFORE I installed programs and reloaded docs, app data, etc.!
During UR I loaded the the Intel driver disc and got only the PCI\VEN_8086&DEV *** files missing, but they were loaded by Windows after UR and several restarts, and everything else in the system works fine, just no IGP.
How do I get the Intel IGP back? Without it my only options are to pay for a graphics card or pay for programs I've already paid for!
Thanks, Enchantech.
Did that, and now I can see HD 4600 in Device Manager, but unfortunately only in Safe Mode. After the drivers (11) were installed I rebooted to find I have a desktop with a pretty background and nothing else, incl no mouse. I checked services & startup and everything looks like its there and set up properly, I am utterly lost.
I can only suggest that you start over from square one with your restore attempt. It's possible that your overwriting of Windows is the cause of your issues. In starting again if possible to copy all of these drivers to a location or media that UR can access during the process will hopefully achieve the desired results.
Already done that, 3 times. One of those was to get back to square one after the Windows Upgrade install messed up my program locations. So that is not a part of the problem at this point. However, I'll delete the old drivers beforehand, do a complete Windows Update, include ALL the updated driver files on cd before UR, and try again. Sure glad I still have the old system!
Thanks

Moving a Windows 7 image created on an AMD platform to an Intel platform, I ran into the dreaded Code 12 error with my Intel GMA3150 video device, indicating that it could not find enough free resources it can use. The culprit was the AMD PCI Express (3GIO) Filter Driver under the System Devices category in Device Manager. Right-click on the AMD PCI Express (3GIO) Filter Driver, uninstall the device, check the box to also REMOVE THE DRIVER FILES (otherwise it will return immediately) and reboot the computer. Install any missing device drivers normally, and reboot again, and you will no longer have the Code 12 error.
Have you checked in device manager under "System devices" for any lingering AMD PCI drivers?
Yes, and checked the registry as well. But there is no REMOVE THE DRIVER FILES that I saw, even though I removed them (which is why I went into the registry to remove them).
Your BIOS may allow you to add more memory to your graphics.
Really? What good does that do if I can't access the IGP?
Ah, I see your problem. Since your UR is from an image of your original system you may be still be able to extract your Win7 key from the registry.
And where do I find that in the registry?
