Video driver issue with Windows 7

[dreux456]

I recently upgraded Windows XP to Windows 7 home premium. occasionally the screen goes black, then comes back with a message in the lower right corner that the Intel video driver for Vista failed and has recovered. what is the fix for this?
thanks in advance.

You could try updating the driver to the latest driver. Some times just uninstalling the old driver completely from the system. Then reinstall the driver will solve the problem. Make sure the driver is for win 7

I'm not sure where to find the driver you're talking about since I'm not that tech savvy, so my first question would be where do I find that info. late tonight I turned on the computer and was prompted to download updates, which I did. after success with that I got a message to dl some optional updates which I did. I looked to two of them and I think the second one might have done the trick; here are the details:

Try the 2nd update. It would be the intel driver . For your video chip.. If your computer is a retail computer. You can try going to the sight and downloading. The latest driver from their.

the first ud is for the monitor, the second for the video chip, which I figured out. so far I haven't seen the original problem so I hope that's fixed. my computer isn't retail, it's from a local tech store that went out of business. there are some people associated with the original store that I can talk to, but I'll save that for last resort.

I like your picture, I love cats. I used to have a black one that lived to be 21. I witnessed him leap up and capture a low flying bat, back in his prime.

thanks again for your help
