Vista Graphical Glitches
Hello,

I have been getting this graphical error lately and i have no idea as to how to approach this.
this glitch seems to be happening to the Vista Games and i think it is causing my "Fable: The Lost Chapters" to occasionally fade out to black and back and i also get a Yellow Triangle with a "!" inside in the Task bar Notification Area and i am sure this is also affecting my other games as well.

Below is a few links to glitches that i am getting within Vista Games.

Thank you for reading this.

I hope to get a solution

You need another driver for your video card.

I have a laptop with the same Graphics card as yours. I have tried 8 different drivers and can`t find one which works properly in Vista. Nvidia drivers for Vista are not good yet

Best advice at the moment is to go to Acer support and look for downloads.
Then identify a Vista driver for your laptop model and your Graphics Card.

I will try that, but i have a feeling thats not the cause, because i did fix it once, but i do not remember how and it happened again.. so it must be some sort of problem that keeps happening
