Display driver igfx stopped responding
Hello,

I am running Vista Home Premium and I have been getting an error saying "Display driver igfx has stopped responding and managed to recover" or something very close to that. The screen goes black for a second or two and then comes back. Are there any fixes for this?

I'm not sure what information you need from me, so please let me know and I'll get back to you. I will say I have an Intel(R) 82945G Express Chipset Family for my display adapter. I checked for updates to the driver and it found none. Thank you for your help and support!

Here are some more details that may help:

Processor: 1.60 GHz
RAM: 2039 MB
32-bit OS

This display driver stops responding at any given point. I hear a lot of people have trouble with this when they are playing games such as World of Warcraft. This error happens to me usually shortly after starting my computer. It's happened 3 times now in the last week. If you need more information, please let me know. Thank you!
