    “safe for me to open the computer back”. In what way?
    Before working inside, remove the main battery as well as the power – then hold the power on/off button in for a few seconds to discharge everything.

  2. I suspect you have the 64 bit version. You would need to install the 32 bit version or even go farther like a virtual machine running 98 or xp. You could simply consider openoffice.

    There are 2 types of memory used for onboard/integrated graphics – dedicated & shared. Dedicated memory can not be changed, it is what it is.
    Shared memory comes in 2 types – pre-allocated & dynamically shared. The pre-allocation setting may be able to be changed in the BIOS. The amount you can pre-allocate depends on the amount of system memory you have installed. Dynamically shared memory (also called DVMT or Dynamic Video Memory Technology) is shared on an as-needed basis.

    What Is Dynamic Video Memory Technology?

    Your 620 uses Dynamic Video Memory Technology 5.0. And based on what I could find, it has no dedicated memory. Therefore all graphics memory is 100% shared. Your best bet is to install a graphics card.

  7. Drivers are created by the hardware manufacturer. If the manufacturer does not have a required driver it is highly probable it does not exist.

    If your OS is 32 bit you could try the XP driver. If it is 64 bit you are probably out of luck.

    No luck with updating drivers with W7? Giving up?
    Well, Good luck. Hope everything works out for you.
