Error message display driver igfx stopped responding
Mx32004,
This most likely is not a Vista issue. Vista uses a technology called VPU Recover (Visual Processing Unit Recover, if memory serves) that keeps your computer from crashing when it has a problem. Instead of the system crashing, like it did in former versions of Windows , VPU Recover keeps the system up and running. That's the idea anyway. Sometimes it crashes anyway, depending on the severity of the issue involved. Therefore, this is a problem in your system, and the recovery you're seeing is only the symptom. It's usually a symptom of a hardware conflict of some kind. Figuring out just what kind and eliminating it is the challenge. Causes include incompatible hardware along with incompatible drivers. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take to help identify the problem. Start by examining a Vista report that logs problems and recommends solutions. To look at the report, click on Start All Programs Maintenance Problem Reports and Solutions. Look through the report and note any issues therein and focus on the corrective action recommended in the report. Another step is to search for incompatible drivers installed on your computer. Do this by clicking on Start and then on Run. In the space provided, type sigverif.exe and click on OK. This app will search your system for unsigned drivers and list them. Not all unsigned drivers cause problems, but some do. You have to use a process of elimination to pinpoint the bad guy. Report back on what your find. -- freddy "Mx32004" wrote: I can play World of Warcraft on vista, however the game will stop working for a slpit second, ramdomly.

I am getting the same message on my computer too...I have an unsigned driver it seems..Now what? I used the help thing on Vista and when they asked if it was helpful, I said no..Because it doesn't tell you how to fix an unsigned driver..I don't even know what that is, let alone fix it..And how do you get it signed???? Does this mean I will always get a Black screen when I play WOW???? |

What video adapter do you have? Vista x86 or Vista x64? Have you gone to the
manufacturer of your video adapter and searched for the latest video adapters? "Steph" wrote in message ...

Steph,
Here is a short course on what a signed driver is: Microsoft has a program whereby vendors, like ATI, nVidea, IBM, etc., who make hardware and software to run on Windows are asked to submit their drivers to Microsoft for confirmation that they work properly. When Microsoft confirms that the drivers work properly, it designates that driver as signed (by Microsoft as a good driver). Like, they signed off on it. An unsigned driver doesn't mean it's causing a problem, but it could be because Microsoft hasn't verified that it works properly. That's what you have to figure out. Sometimes it's easy because the name of the driver sometimes will have a name that indicates what device is using it. For example, ATI video cards often use drivers that are include the letters ATI, like this: atitool.sys (actual example). Others aren't that easy. One thing you can do it use google to search the Internet using the name of the driver by which to search. The error report I mentioned in my prior post should disclose the program and the driver that's causing the problem. Understanding what that report says in a matter of becoming familiar with it. You can also use google to search on error report terms to find information about what those terms mean. What do you do after you determine which piece of hardware/software is causing the problem. Basically you have two choices. You can remove the offending trouble maker, or you can update to a current version, which often fixes crash problems. To do this, you also will need to do research to figure out what the alternatives are. The vendor of the offending hardware/software is a good source of information. It can be confusing. You can participate in a forum where these type issues are discussed and resolved. Just some thoughts. Others may have additional comments about this. All are welcome. -- freddy "Steph" wrote: I am getting the same message on my computer too...I have an unsigned driver it seems..Now what?

I think I have found a solution to a problem that plagues many players!
I too have been having a problem where about three mins after logging into WoW the screen goes black for 4-5 seconds, and then continues to do so every 30 seconds or so. Here are my system specs. GTW GT5412 OS: Vista Home Premium 32-Bit Processor: Intel Core 2 1.80Ghz Ram: 2038MB Video Card: Intel 82945G Express Chipset Family. I read all over on the internet trying to fix it, and everyone said to download the 02/04/07 drivers from intel.com but every time I would run the installer it would tell me they weren't made for my computer. Here is how I eventually got it to work. Step 1: Download the 02/04/07 drivers from Intel (Version # 15.1) Put them somewhere you'll remember. (Desktop) http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Filt...eng&sType=prev Step 2: Go to [Start - Control Panel - Security - Turn automatic updating on or off (Under Windows Update) - Select "Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them. Step 3: Go to [Start - Control Panel - System and Maintenance - Device Manager - Tell Vista to Continue - Display Adapters - Right-click and uninstall your current drivers. Step 4: Restart your computer. When Vista opens you will get a message that it is installing "VGA adapter drivers" Step 5: Run "winvista_151" (Driver installer you downloaded earlier) It should work - and if it comes up with a "Unknown error" than just try running the installer again. It worked without a hitch for me, and for my girlfriend's computer too. Hope it works for all you guys too! Lemme know how it does for everyone, okay? -Benindetto (Lvl 61 Dwarf Paladin ~~ Kilrogg) |

Dear caryn and kevin, Thank you for contacting HP Total Care. It is unfortunate to know that your system reporting "IGFX driver has malfunctioned but has recovered" error message and I see that the pre-installed memory is not supporting to work with pre-installed graphics card. You are right. I can understand your frustration. We assume this latest issue is due to any update from Micorsoft. Thank you very much for bringing this issue to our notice. This is a new issue. After being discussed with our research team, we came to know that this is a new error message noticed recently. Our research team is working on this issue. In the mean time, I request you to run Recovery manager to reinstall graphics card drivers. Please open the following link and perform the steps recommended in the HP article: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/g...reg_R1002_USEN I see that your sysetm BIOS is allocating 8MB memory for integrated graphicscard. Out of total system memory, your system video memory is using 32MB as shared video memory. I request your patience and time. I could send the resolution to your email address as soon as we find the resolution. I request you to contact HP Total Care for further technical assistance.

Date: 11/01/2007 20:24:48 EST To: Cc: Subject: Compaq Presario SR5010NX Desktop PC e-mail sup ok, i noticed that i pressed the wrong operating system, i have 32 bit windows vista home basic. also, there isn't a graphics card installed, i have integrated graphics on the motherboard included in this model. windows does provide the latest update for the intel gma. however, when uninstalling as recommended first before reinstalling, the driver/software doesn't completely uninstall as there remains a gui in the additional options on the control panel in windows vista. if this is in the hp setup corehow are we to access as the program is not available to change/uninstall. also the intel chipset on this motherboard is listed as no longer being supported by intel, nor was it supported when this model was released. do you plan on responding with a newer chipset? more ram? yes, i can be patient, but this seems to be a defect that is unnecessary, as it was caused by using something produced long before vista became generally available, i understand they can't be expected to support their products forever, but i have also noticed this problem connected with the pavillion as well.thank you,caryn Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2007 19:30:03 +0000From: ubject: Compaq Presario SR5010NX Desktop PC e-mail sup and they said...
