Bartledoo Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 "Display driver r300 has stopped responding and has successfully recovered" I get this ^ during regular browsing, opening new tabs, watching videos etc. There doesn't seem to be a real pattern to it when it happens. I have made sure my display driver is updated, Radeon xpress 200m Series (yes, my laptop is ancient) I have made sure DirectX is updated and Dx Diagnostics is showing everything working correctly I have updated Adobe Flash and disabled "enable hardware acceleration" I've cleared my browser. I don't know what else to do! I'm running Vista Home 32bit Browser is Chrome My system is pretty clean as I did a complete OS re-install about 6 months ago. Does anyone have any other ideas?

|Bunghole| Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Buy a newer computer. Or maybe your boyfriend will give you one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|Montana Bengal| Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Some am I reading this correctly? Is it when you are using Chrome? Have you tried a different browser like Firefox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartledoo Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Chrome is the only browser I use so I downloaded Firefox a while ago and had the same problem. I can't figure it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-GoBengals- Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 can u check the manufacturer websute, like dell is support.dell.com, etc and put in the model number and grab the driver again? that was the ONLY good thing dell ever did, i put in my service tag # and it gave me all drivers, bios, everything, i had to install the OS every 6 months it seemed so it came in handy often, so whoever made the laptop check the site and reinstall the driver thats missing..?

I finally just did a system restore back to before the last round of Windows updates. Apparently one of the updates did not install correctly which caused the driver issue.
