Re: Display driver stopped responding

Wayne and All,

You have what is called a VPU Recover error. This is an ATI technology
adopted by Microsoft for Vista. The technology keeps your computer from
crashing when you have a conflict, but gives you the VPU Recover error
message instead (of crashing). This has been around for a number of years,
and it can be difficult identifying the problem, unless you're lucky. Here
is a guide about troubleshooting the VPU Recover problem. The guide
addresses the issue as it was written before Vista came to live with us, but
nothing has changed. The comments apply to Vista as well. Take a look:

There is a lot of information on the Internet about this problem. I even
had it not long ago when using WinXP. It took me a long time to figure it
out.
