Thread: help with my driver

What driver does it say is having issues? What Browser are you using and does the issue happen any other time. (Meanung when you are doing anything else, after being logged on for 30 minutes, etc...)

the driver that lets you play game's or the grapic thing. i have

Internet Explorer 6.0 .it only happen'swhen I go to down load

an image at image shack or adding a pic to a post .

it has happened 3 times 10 minuts apart it hasnt dont it yet

because i havnt tried down loading an image or tried making a

pic. that is when it shut off like i said and when the welcome

page comes up it say's i had a driver error. the driver that has to do with images

if you know what that is?

first of all you'll need to find out what driver you will need for your computer.

go in to the controll pannel and open the display icon. from the tabs list select settings and at the lower right click on advanced (a new window will appear) select the adaptor tab.

this tab will tell you what your graphics card is.

do a google search for that card ie. mine tells me it is a "radeon x850 series" so in the google search i would put "radeon x850 series drivers" that should then give me several links to use. now i know this card is fro ATI so i would uses there site.

If you have windows XP i suggest you either do a system restore to an eairer point whaere the problem did not exsist or do a system repair (form the windows disc autorun).

it may also not be just the graphics card! -you should try re-installing the drivers that came with your computer if the problem still contiues, try what has been mentioned first.

it just did it again here is what it said

Information about this error

You received this message because a device driver installed on your computer caused the Windows operating system to stop unexpectedly. This type of error is referred to as a "stop error." A stop error requires you to restart your computer.

Next steps

We have analyzed your error report and at this time are unable to determine the exact cause of the error. However, Microsoft will continue to analyze this error report to try to determine the specific cause of the error. If we are able to find the cause and correct it, and you encounter the same problem, you will receive an updated response that includes instructions for resolving the problem.

it has to do with my device driver

It's unusual that viewing/attaching images would conflict with your graphics card and drivers. Follow andiishere's tips to update your graphics display drivers and see if that helps. However, it sounds more like a setting somewhere, possibly someplace you can't get to. Some virus/trojans fake the blue screen error page when they infect your system. A friend of mine had a virus totally erase the Display tab so he couldn't adjust his settings. I'd suggest a virus scan if you haven't already, just to be sure.

Put in the Windows CD, start the setup and select Innovation when prompted. Most of your settings and applications will remain and it should run correctly from there on. But the virus and spyware check is a must and you should do it on another computer where you bring the disk to.
