display drivers
I just had one of those days, and hit ctrl alt down, but it didn't flip my
screen. Instead, i get this error "The currently selected graphics display driver can not be used. It was written for a previous version fo Windows, and is no longer compatable with this version of Windows. The system has been started using the default VGA driver. Please contact your hardware manufacturer to get an updated driver, or select one of the Microsoft provided drivers." The issue is that everything is regestering as being in good order, but clearly is not. I have a Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset. Everything looks normal, but my screensaver and certain applications do not work. HELP!

display drivers
I gave it a try, and it installed, but i still have the same problem. All
the files are there, they are just not functioning. Everything is up to date as far as I know. should I try uninstalling the current driver and reinstalling it, or will that be more trouble than it's worth? I know from first hand experience that graphics cards are a real pain. "Mike Hall - MVP" wrote: "isaably" wrote in message ...
