Where did all my graphics options go?

So, until today, I'd been playing COH on my desktop since i17 went live and the desktop ran it fine, as I knew it would. However, my laptop (which ran the game on medium to upper medium settings very well before i17) now has the graphics looking like doodie no matter where I set the unadvanced slider to and when I try to go into advanced settings (which before i17, I had full access to all options), there's less than a handful available. All the ultra mode stuff says n/a as does the vast majority of the normal settings. The only things I can change now are the world/character quality, particle effects and full screen AA. What in the world happened to the options?

I'm running a:

Lenovo Ideapad U350

# Intel® Pentium® Processor (1.30GHz Dual Core 800MHz 2MB)
# Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium
# Intel Integrated Graphics X4500
# 4 GB PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1066MHz
# 13.3 "HD WXGA LED 1366x768
# Camera on top of screen 1.3-megapixel fixed focus
# Industry Standard Touchpad
# 320GB 5400RPM
# 4 Cell Lithium-Ion
# Intel Wireless Wi-Fi Link 5100
# Bluetooth Version 2.1 + EDR

Make sure your drivers are up to date for your Intel Integrated Graphics X4500.

And there is a patch coming that will reenable the shader modes on Intel integrated graphics, it's currently on test.

Cool, thanks for the info guys. For now, I'll just deal with the lesser graphics when on my laptop.

edit: No I won't. Lenovo's site had squat for drivers and Intel's site ran me in circles...finally googled around some and found some drivers from last month. Game's back to looking and running good again. And to think, window's said the driver was fully up to date....

Sky_Hawke, where did you find drivers for your Intel chipset?

The Intel driver utility at http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/detect.htm says my driver's up to date.

But I have no shader options on Test yet, my game still looks like rubbish...
