| | Windows Vista and Hardware I bought my mother a new computer and it came loaded with Windows Vista. She is experiencing a problem with the monitor periodically going black and then coming back on. After a few times of doing this.....a message pops up and says that the display driver has experienced a problem and recovered. Is this a problem with the Windows Vista drivers? Do I need to try to download a new driver for the monitor? I only replaced the Tower. The printer and monitor that she had were pretty new, so I did not replace them when I purchased the new computer. Thank you. If anyone has an answer, my email address is HalPick56@xxxxxx |

| | Re: Windows Vista and Hardware Hi, Update the video drivers to the most recent release from the video card manufacturer. Uninstall the existing supporting software first. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "HalPick56" <HalPick56@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:17CCBB9F-CBAD-4ADB-8541-859309624120@xxxxxx Quote: >I bought my mother a new computer and it came loaded with Windows Vista. >She > is experiencing a problem with the monitor periodically going black and > then > coming back on.
