Seems this is a fairly common problem with the Intel graphics chipset that uses this driver. Mostly it's games that give it but it can happen at any time for some. Short of changing the graphics card the only option appears to be to get the latest drivers from Intel and see if that helps. Also turning down graphics acceleration appears to help a bit. It can also be caused by overheating so it's worth checking that the PC isn't in need of a dust out inside - more so if this is a laptop as their cooling is more easily clogged up. -- Best regards, Barry mailto:[email protected] MicroSoft Free Zone running Ubuntu 10.04 'Lucid' 64bit
