Display driver Niveda failing

I have a Sattelite A665s6093 1 year old and keep getting a black screen then recovering and giving me this message "display driver Niveda failed and has recovered". This has happened at least a dozen times over the last fewmonths and I imagine it is only a matter of time before it does not recover. Any suggestions for a fix???

Hello Patriotsrock01,
Sounds like your video card driver is failing. If the issue started happening within the past few weeks something may have triggered the problem.
The first thing we can do is try uninstalling the video card driver and re-installing a new driver to see if it continues to crash. You can find the original drivers here.
http://goo.gl/bW4ug
What you will want to do is follow these steps
1. Download the drivers and save them to your computer (someplace you can find them such as your desktop)
2. Click on the Start Orb
3. Right click on Computer and select properties
4. Navigate to device Manager
5. Expand your display adapter section
6. Right click on the driver listed and uninstall
At this point your computer screen is going to go blank and we need to restart your computer
7. Tap the start button your keyboard
8. Press the right arrow twice
9. Press the letter R
At this point the computer is going to reboot. When it reboots Windows will install a basic video card driver. At this point we want to reinstall the ATI driver from your desktop. Double click on the .exe file and run the installer and follow any on screen instructions.

  • R5850 Display Driver Install Fails

    Hello. 
    I have a problem installing MSI's official drivers for my R5850-OC.  When I first received the card, the official drivers installed fine.  Also, upgrading to the newest MSI official drivers worked fine.  However, if I ever wanted to remove the drivers to roll back or w/e, I get a BSOD in the middle of Catalyst Install Manager uninstalling.
    Now, If I want to install any of the official MSI drivers, I get a warning that the ATI Display Driver fails to install.  However, it appears I can install any of the ATI/AMD drivers just fine.  I'm currently using Catalyst 10.12.   
    The reason why I want to fix this, is because I currently have a HDMI Audio problem with the card and Media Center and wanted to try different drivers.
    Thanks for your help,
    ~Mason
    P.S. I seem to remember encountering a problem installing the Official drivers long ago, but fixed it by manually installing the display driver via device manager, and using catalyst for everything else. 

    OK, install a program called Unlocker >>http://filehippo.com/download_unlocker/<<.  Then, try removing anything ATi with DriverSweeper in safe mode.  Don't restart.  Run DriverSweeper again, but analyze only.  Find the left over driver(s) location and right click on them to run unlocker and delete them.  This may or may not blue screen you, so don't be surprised if it does.  Restart.  Run a registry cleaner to get rid of any extra stuff and then try installing the MSI drivers. 
    If you're still experiencing audio issues, try checking the HDMI cable itself (I'm assuming you're using that).  Make sure there is no exposed wire or excessive bending.  Also, check the physical connection on the card so that nothing is loose or missing.

  • Re: Satellite P100-160 - Display driver installation failed

    Satellite P100-160, PSPAAE, vista 32 bit,
    Today Aero wasn't working and not available in graphics properties. Installed latest display driver from Toshiba UK site, Intel 15.0.1.1114. This version was actually older than my current driver but I thought that maybe as it was the only one availabel that it must be correct.
    The driver install failed with an error (no details just 'an error has occurred'). Now I have no aero and my display resolution cant be set above 1280x800 - should be 1440x900
    To say I am pisseed would be an understatement. Can anyone help? thanks

    Hey,
    If Aero is not available I dont think its display driver problem
    Anyway, have you removed the old display driver before you installed the new one? Go to device manager > right click on graphic card > uninstall. After reboot the display driver should be uninstalled and you can start with display driver installation.
    If you install drivers make sure you are logged in as Administrator and antivirus/firewall is disabled. Restart once again and you should be able to choose the native screen resolution now.
    Check this!!!

  • Freezes, lockups and displays the following malf: Display Drive AMD failed.

    I own a HP HPE-410f w/AMD Phenom(tm) processor 2.70Ghz, 8. GB RAM, 64-bit OS, Ed W7.  It is about 10 mos old.  It frequently locks up both on and off the Internet.  When this happens, we have to wait about 30secs for it to recover.  Now, it is under warranty and and has an extended warranty for a full replacement.  Is this a problem that has history with this product which can be corrected with a simple download, or should I just take it back for full replacement.

    Hi,
    It appears from the message that you are receiving indicates that the video driver has failed.
    You can try updating the driver off the AMD web site.
    If you have a discrete video card such as the ATI HD 5570 then you might want to check for dust inside your PC.  Use a can of compressed air to blow the dust out PC, CPU heat sink and the fan on the video card.  You try reseating the video card.
    If you still are having the issue and your PC has the discrete video card then you can remove the video card and use the on board video. The video ports on the motherboard on the back of the PC might have black caps on them.

  • Display drivers have failed and recovered.

     First off I have a k450e that i bought in August. I started receiving the message "Display driver has failed and recovered" yesterday when trying to play several games. It will freeze just after starting a game revert to the windows screen and display that message. It was working fine the night before, no updates were applied that i'm aware of. I have tried a clean installation of drivers, rolling back drivers and have even recovered my system to how it was when I bought it. I have only had this PC for 3 months and have never encountered anything like this, especially in such a short amount of time of owning a system. Please help

    Its only a driver issue
    use a program called driver sweep to remove your gfx card drivers then reinstall the drivers
    anything could cause a problem with the drivers for a program being install or uninstalled

  • Display driver trouble

    I have a Compaq Presario c700, and I am continually having problems with the screen going blank (black), recovering, going blank, recovering, then going to a blue screen.  When the screen recovers, it gives me a brief message that the "display driver" has failed and recovered.  When the blue screen appears (sorry, don't have the language it tells me - will add here when I see it again), the only way to get my computer back to functioning properly is to press the power button down and restart. 
    Can I just re-install a display driver?  If so, can you recommend where I can do this for free? 
    HELP!

    What is your exact model number? C700s all use the Intel integrated graphics so they are not prone to the same types of graphics issues as the dv6000 series. This type of issue is notoriously hard to diagnose. Since the graphics uses system memory it can be as simple as a bad stick of memory in the computer. It can also be a bad motherboard, or even a virus. Unfortunately simply loading a new driver is not likely to help much. It usually requires a reload of Windows just to take the system back to a baseline for testing. Even before that you would want to run a memory test to see if maybe it is just bad RAM. Also run a full scan in safe mode with Malwarebytes. After that I would try uninstalling the old driver from the device manager, rebooting and installing the latest chipset and video driver here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=2093&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=3559...
    I would also try updating the BIOS. if none of that works I would try the Windows wipe and reload and lastly I would begin to assume it is a bad motherboard.
    Post back with questions and we can try to help.

  • Display Driver Failing?

    Let me start out by saying I am far from computer literate when it comes to the actual computer, so any solutions you offer need to be in layman's terms or I'll probably mess up. (;
    I have Windows 8 on an HP Pavilion tx2500, model #2510us
    I got it for Christmas where it was previously owned but purchased from a computer store where I guess it did not initially have Windows 8 but their guy decided to install it before sending it back out.
    I haven't had much problem with it until now when visiting a website and my computer display went crazy!! The screen got little blue lines all over and a litle pop-up in the corner said something about the display driver failing. The computer restarted, and when it came back up it was still not right so I restarted again and it came up as if it were installing an update.
    I thought that was the end of it, but then the same thing happened again, with the screen going black with blue lines and crashing, although this time it did not say it was installing updates.
    Does anyone know if there is anything I can do to fix this? Any help is appreciated, as I know the computer is no longer under warranty and Windows 8 is not tested for my notebook, so I don't know who else to ask.

    Your best option would be to find a way to get Windows 7 installed back on it. More than likely the graphic card doesn't support Windows 8 and that is why you are experiencing these issues.

  • ATI display driver fails to work with new kernel

    Hi,
    I've just upgraded from
    OEL kernel-2.6.18-194.11.3.0.1.el5.x86_64
    to most current
    OEL kernel-2.6.18-194.11.4.0.1.el5.x86_64
    and got the problem with ATI display driver. Whenever I perform kernel upgrade, I have to recompile vendor-provided ATI display driver downloadable from AMD/ATI site, because system ATI driver, provided by OEL/RHEL as kernel module, doesn't work properly (too slow). I did that hundred times and never had a problem. This time the problem is that after upgrading to new kernel and recompiling the existing ATI display driver (Revision 10.8), it doesn't work anymore, even though it worked perfectly with previous kernel. I cannot even start X11 (glibc problem reported with stack traces!!!). The newest ATI display driver (Revision 10.9) "works" with new kernel, but display is awfully slow making any serious work impossible. It is even slower than system-provided ATI driver.
    I am pretty sure the problem is in new kernel. As I have no backup of old kernel files and couldn't download the previous OEL kernel files from ULN, neither binary nor source (the files do not exist on ULN anymore, only the recent kernel files), I downloaded the previous kernel source from ftp.redhat.com, compiled the kernel and downgraded to it, recompiled ATI display driver, and everything works properly and fast as before upgrading. I can remember that ULN site used to have all kernel versions prior to actual one and cannot understand why Oracle dropped this practice. As I have an ULN account, I certainly want to have OEL patched kernel.
    My question is: does anybody know how and where I can download the previous OEL kernel-2.6.18-194.11.3.0.1.el5.x86_64 binary rpm files or at least source rpm file?
    Maybe Sergio or Tommy can help?
    Thanks in advance.

    I have experienced the same with Ubuntu some years ago - specific feature (hack?) that was implemented in the kernel was deprecated. This was used by the display driver for an onboard Intel graphics chipset. Beryl (which was subsequently merged with Compiz) turned into a horribly slow experience. As far as I recall, a subsequent kernel patch "fixed" things as a number of users were affected, of which many complained very loudly.
    Anyway, I think the lesson here is that OEL is not really the correct distro to use for a desktop. A broken ATI driver for the OEL kernel? Does not really feature in the scheme of things for OEL support. Oracle Grid/RAC/Enterprise/Standard Edition do not care. Oracle's application servers (Apache, Weblogic, etc) do not care. Etc.
    Sure, GUI desktop access to an OEL server is needed (like when running dbca or an installer) - but that can easily and effectively be done using vncserver for example and running twm.
    You may be able to fix/work-around the problem with the current kernel update.. you may be able to roll back the update. But what about the next time when some other component does not work after a patch or an update? Surely it is a lot less stressful and frustrating to rather use a desktop distro, like Ubuntu, instead?

  • R400/T400/T500/W500: display driver "amdkmdap" crashes

    Executive summary: All current Lenovo ThinkPads with switchable graphics (R400, T400, T500, and W500) have usability issues in connection with Vista and the use of external monitors. For more than half a year, users were plagued by frequent Windows crashes. During that time frame, Lenovo did not comment on the various available reports and complaints. By the end of April 2009, Lenovo resolved many issues by releasing a new official driver. Though several problems, including severe ones, remain as of today. Lenovo has said to be actively working on the remaining issues (without outcomes so far).
    Important information for affected users: If you're having one of the issues reported here, then Lenovo advises you to call your local Lenovo Support. Demand that a case is submitted to hardware engineering. In particular, you should ask for "a CMVC case to be created and escalated". Using these "code words" ensures that your case is properly addressed.
    Old problem description
    On Vista 32 and Vista 64, the ATI display driver "amdkmdap" crashes when an external monitor was active before OR an application (game) using DirectX technology is used. The user typically receives a couple of so-called "Timeout Detection and Recovery" (TDR) messages from Vista:
    (Click here for an explanation of the message from Microsoft)
    Sometimes, amdkmdap crashes several times in a row. Then Windows crashes with a so-called "BSOD", likely resulting in data loss. Typically, Windows detects "atikmpag.sys" as the crashing driver. Sometimes, also an instantaneous reboot happens independent of prior TDR crashes. In such a case, no BSOD is displayed.
    The following movie illustrates the phenomenon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBX9QsCmrpY
    This behavior above has been confirmed for the following ThinkPad models: R400, T400, T500, and W500 (see below). Problem reports indicate that the symptoms are often related to playing games and/or the notebook being docked and the external monitor being connected via DVI.
    Though, the presence of these two conditions is not necessary to trigger the driver crash:
    There are reports where no dock was involved and the external monitor was connected directly to the notebook's VGA port.
    Furthermore, there are reports where the notebook was docked and an external monitor was connected to the DVI port.
    So far, there has been no report relating to a monitor being connected to the Display Port which is available on some models. (Possibly because this port is not used.)
    There are a few reports where neither a dock nor an external monitor was involved.
    Playing certain games reliably triggers the crash.
    Steps to reproduce
    While intially (around September 2008 - October 2008) the crash could be triggered easily, the situation is now (December 2008) more complex. The crashes do still occur, though there is no clear pattern anymore. According to various reports, the display driver crash can be triggered as follows:
    Resuming from standby
    Watching a DVD.
    Playing one of these games: Fallout 3, Bioshock, Team Fortress 2, Knights of the Old Republic.
    Arbitrarily during normal work. On a normal working day, the problem occurs at least once.
    Further issues
    Here are more issues which seem to be related. More information can be found in other posts of this thread:
    The notebook display and/or the external monitor runs at a low resolution after resuming from standby.
    After the login both monitors flicker while adjusting the resolution of the monitor.
    The external monitors cannot be activated using Presentation Director.
    The external monitor is blank after docking or undocking.
    There are some reports about display driver crashes on machines running Windows XP.
    The switchable graphics drivers limit the useable RAM under Vista 32 to 2.5GB (i.e. 500MB-1GB less than usual).
    Workarounds
    Lenovo has released a new "tip" document which provides a link to a new driver. Get it here but be sure to read the instructions!
    (Old tips follow below the line. Consider them as obsolete.)
    Here are some tips which might make the problem occur less often. I have not tried all of them. Though, A. and B. have improved the situation for me; your mileage may vary.
    A. If you do not have to use an external monitor, then switch to Intel graphics for time being.
    Otherwise:
    B. Make some changes to your system:
    Disable Aero.
    Create a new profile in the power manager with the following setting: When running on AC, turn off the monitor after 40 minutes. (Thereby, the notebook goes less often to standby.)
    Install the newest graphics drivers.
    Install the newest BIOS.
    Install the newest Hotkey utility.
    Install the newest drivers.
    C. Disable the switchable graphics in the BIOS setup and install modded drivers from ATI (see zilla's post in this thread for instructions).
    The last workaround (C.) has been confirmed to work reliably by several users. Though, thereby you use drivers which have not been tested by Lenovo. It's possible (but not very likely) that damage results by doing so. Also, it might be difficult to install a future Lenovo driver which resolves the issues reported here. Finally, you cannot use the power-saving Intel graphics. Thus, you should only use this workaround if you know what you are doing.
    The programs can be downloaded from the following locations. Notice that System Update does not always offer you immediately the lastest versions.
    R400 and T400 users: Go here.
    T500 and W500 users: Go here.
     User opinions
    "Is there any chance this will be fixed, or should I just get used to my "workstation-class" machine crashing regularly?"
    "I [am] thinking about to sell my w500 if this problems won't be fixed in the next weeks."
    "I've got a T400 w/ Vista 64 and I'll say the Switchable drivers on it S[**]K bad."
    "Unfortunately for Lenovo, our IT Manager is at the point of a awarding a new and rather substantial Enterprise Agreement for our whole organization's PC's, which included a rollout of many new PC's for 2009. The contract was going to go to Lenovo. He mumbled something about HP when I asked him about the state of affairs with my PC... [O]ur firm's IT Manager decided to return all the faulty Lenovo's for a refund and would replace them with HP's."  
    "Is someone from Lenovo paying attention[?]"
    "i'm getting angry with ati and lenovo."
    "there are no new drivers and no ETA for a fix."
    "ThinkPads are supposed to be good, so you'd think there wouldn't be a problem like this."
    "honestly it is completely unacceptable for lenovo to have done nothing this long. I paid extra to get the ATI card, and now I can't hook up my laptop to an external monitor without it crashing. I will probably end up selling the laptop soon since using an external monitor is extremely important to me and lenovo doesn't seem to care about fixing the situation."
    Update:

    Original post
    Hi there!
    I have major troubles using a Dell 2709W monitor with my T400. 
    The notebook is attached to a Advanced Mini Dock to which the monitor is connected via DVI.
     The problems are as follows.
    A. Activating the external monitor often fails
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Attach a Dell 2709W via DVI to an Advanced Mini Dock which is connected to a T40
    2. Start Windows and make sure that the T400 is running on the ATI card.
    => Dell monitor enters power saving mode because no signal is coming.
    3. In Windows use either the Presentation Director, Windows, or the ATI tools to activate the Dell monitor.
    Expected result: The Dell monitor is activated and the Windows desktop is shown on it.
    Actual result: It takes 1-3 seconds for the Dell monitor to display something. The monitor shows the Windows desktop for a short period. Then it's black again and the monitor returns to the power saving mode .
    Analysis: It seems that the Presentation Director, Windows, or the ATI tools (or more aptly, I guess, the ATI driver) expect a quick response from the DVI-port that a monitor is present. If they do not receive the response, the DVI-port is deactivated again. Since the monitor is too slow to respond and enters the power saving mode too quickly, the monitor can hardly ever be activated.
    Suggested change: Change these tools (or the ATI driver) so that they wait longer for a response on the DVI-port.
    B. Resuming from monitor sleep causes Windows to fall back to a low resolution if the Dell monitor was activated before
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Attach a Dell 2709W via DVI to an Advanced Mini Dock which is connected to a T400
    2. Start Windows and make sure that the T400 is running on the ATI card.
    3. Select the Energy Star profile
    4. Activate the Dell monitor
    5. Don't use Windows until the notebook display and the Dell monitor are set to sleep by Windows.
    6. Wake up the displays (e.g. by pressing some keys)
    Expected result: Both displays are run in the display mode as before.
    Actual result: The Dell monitor still sleeps. The notebook displays is run at a lower resolution (I guess 800x600). The Windows login prompt is not visible and it has to be guessed that it is shown. Though the typical Windows login background is visible. If the password is entered, then Windows can be used again. Though, the resolution is still low and the Dell monitor still sleeps.
    Analysis: It seems that by sending the Dell monitor to sleep, the monitor deactivates the DVI-interface or enters a low-power interface mode. This seems to disturb some component in Windows (the Presentation Director, Windows, the ATI tools, the ATI driver) in a way that Windows only activates the notebook display when it resumes from "monitor sleep".
    Suggested change: Change these tools (or the ATI driver) so that they can cope with the situation that the DVI-interface is deactivated and wait longer for the interface to be in a useable state. Reactivate an external monitor even if it "sleeps very deeply".

    - T400 2767-CTO (T9400, 2x2GB RAM, ATI, WXGA+ LED)
    - Advanced Mini Dock
    - Vista 32 Business (German) - fully updated
    - All Lenovo updates via System Update are installed- Dell 2709W
    - The system runs the ATI graphic card in the described scenarios

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Lenovo support made me reinstall presentation director to rule out this component as a factor. After the reinstallation, the amdkmdap-problem is still present. Letting Windows go to standby and waking the system up afterwards, is a reliable method in my case to reproduce the problem on condition that an external monitor was active. The problem does not occur if no external monitor is present.
    A web search for "amdkmdap", "atikmpag","BSOD" with one of the ThinkPad-series names (like "T400") shows that other persons also have this problem with R400s, T400s, T500s, and W500s:
    - t400: Display driver crashes
    - W500 Display Driver
    - My W500
    - T400 Display driver stopped working...
    - T500 Video/Video Driver Issues (2056-4SU)
    - NUS T400 issues
    - T400 Display Driver Issue
    - Vista64 + 4GB RAM + External Display = BSOD
    - R400 problem report (in Chinese)
    - T500 problem report (in Chinese)
    - Bioshock keeps crashing (seems related)
    -  Vista x64, ATI graphics, dock + external LCD = bluescreens? (a report by a W500 user)
    - many problems with lenovo w500
    - another R400 problem report (in Chinese)
    -  Vista BSOD on Lenovo T500 with new Switchable Graphics
    - switchable graphics and external monitor through port replic
    - Problem with Lenovo T500 notebook & external LCD
    - Lenovo ThinkPad T400 - some impressions.
    - T400 freezes with graphics Intense programes
    - Standard Laptop mit ein paar Macken (in German)
    Some possibly related Non-Lenovo cases: 
    - Why Vista crashes so often when dual display is enabled?
    - Vista and 7.3 Display driver atikmdag stopped responding error
    - 4870 vista x64 multi-mon = atikdmag BOOM
    In the cases in which people observe the "amdkmdap"-problem and describe the circumstances, the use of an external monitor is always a factor. These other reports also indicate that it is likely not an issue with the hardware of my notebook (or then a general problem for many batches of these machine types). For it happens a) on many systems and b) on different kinds of systems.
    If others want to contribute to the problem solution, then we should provide Lenovo and ATI a good problem description. So, please add your description.

  • Photoshop CS6 unable to use due to display driver (Intel) problem

    Hi
    I am experiencing problems using Photoshop CS6 (not extended version). I have recently installed Design standard and I'm not having this problem with Illustrator.
    Each time I run PS, I receive a pop up with "display driver Intel HD graphics drivers for Windows 8(R) stopped responding and has successfully been recovered". PS opens but I cannot use it and I have to force end task in task manager.
    I have an Asus Laptop (i7) with Windows 8.1, graphics card Intel HD 4400, it also has an NVIDA Geoforce GT 740M graphic card.
    so far:
    I have installed the latest driver from Intel (10.18.10.3345).
    I have re-booted in Safe Mode and can open PS - I receive the message "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled enhancements which use the graphics hardware". I can use PS in safe mode. I then re-boot and can use PS normally, however after another re-boot or awakening from sleep the problem reappears.
    I have tried switching to 'Basic' or "Normal' in the advanced settings. The problem occurs again.
    I connect this laptop by VGA to an external Dell monitor, however it does not just happen when connected to the external.
    Any help in resolving this would be very much appreciated!
    Here is my help>system info log (retrieved when in safe mode after the warning message) :

    This is because PS turned off the GPU when I opened it in safe mode.
    When I can access PS normally, both cards are recognised:

    is uninstalling the graphics card the only fix for this? I'm reluctant to try this, and cause more problems..

  • Blank screen after display driver update Satellite Pro P200

    I installed the latest ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600 display driver (8.432, from the Toshiba site via Tempo) on my Satellite Pro P200 yesterday. On rebooting everything looks fine as far as the Windows Vista Business "Please wait ..." screen, but instead of displaying the login page I get a blank screen (with a mouse cursor that moves around as normal). All I can do at this point is power off, and I've run out of ideas on how to get any further.
    Things I've tried:
    # booting into safe mode, low-resolution video or last known good configuration all result in the same blank screen.
    # connecting to the system using remote desktop (to disable the driver) isn't possible because the system hasn't loaded the network drivers yet.
    # I can't revert to a restore point because Vista can't find any (I made a manual one after installing windows updates on a couple of days ago).
    I can run a command prompt from the system recovery options and would prefer to use that to disable the driver +if+ I knew how before resorting to the more drastic options.
    A web search (http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ati+catalyst+vista+blank+screen&hl=en&sa= N) reveals that this has happened on a wide range of laptops with
    previous releases of the driver, but none of the links I've looked at give a solution that's available to me.

    No joy with an external screen so I bit the bullet and reinstalled from the product recovery disk. I tried expert mode to retain the data partition but that failed twice, so I had to restore it from the previous day's backup after doing a full reinstall. Two consolations, though.
    # It allowed me to increase the size of the data partition.
    # The display driver update worked fine on the fresh install.
    Needless to say I've since found [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927525] which describes how you can disable a problem device driver (atikmdag in my case) from the system recovery command prompt :-(
    Hopefully the instructions in there will help anybody who gets caught with similar problems.

  • Satellite A300D-1EI - blue screen error - display drivers had failed

    I 've bought my laptop a month ago.
    Everything is working great except two "blue screen" errors caused by the graphics card.
    Both were when the laptop was connected with TV through S-video port.
    First was when the laptop display turned off after 15 minutes while watching a movie, on resume said that display drivers had failed and then I got the blue screen. Then I updated the display drivers from ATI's website and set the laptop display not to turn off.
    All were ok with no problems, until last night when I got another message that display drivers had failed followed by a blue screen.
    I am wondering if this is a driver's problem or is something wrong with my graphics card.
    System Info:
    Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T8400 @ 2.26 GHz
    Memory (RAM): 3.00 GB
    System Type: 32-bit Windows Vista Home Premium
    Display Adapter: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470

    So long you use ATI driver from ATI support page there is no possibility to say anything about it.
    This driver is not tested and Toshiba cannot offer any help about it.
    So what you can do is to install OS again using recovery media and see what will happen in the future. Please test it intensively with clean preinstalled operating system. Don't install anything that can have some negative influence to this game or additional applications, codecs or something similar.
    Test it please and let us know if the problem persists.
    When you want to watch movies on TV at first switch to the TV and then start DVD player.

  • Re: Satellite A300 PSAGCA -02Y010 - Error: Webcam driver open failed

    Problem:
    Recieve error every time I try to use Camera Assistance Software for Toshiba: Webcam driver open failed. Please restart camera or computer. Web cam also does not work in Skype. It seems that this is a very common problem with the A300s series, yet there is no clear solution out there.
    Hardware
    Series: A300
    Model: PSAGCA -02Y010
    Software
    Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit
    Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba: 1.7.175.0123
    Details
    I recently did a clean install of Windows 7, updating from Windows Vista. I never used the web cam on Windows Vista, so I can't testify as to whether the web camera was workin correctly or not. However, when I tried to use it with Skype, it did not work. I reinstalled the driver that I backed up before I installed the new operating system, but it did not work. The web cam doesn't show up at all in Device Manager - even when set to display hidden devices. Trying to add new hardware through the control panel fails to detect the web camera at all. I have restarted after every install/repair of the driver.
    Steps Taken
    Reinstalled backuped drivers
    I used third party software (Double Driver) to back up and reinstall the drivers for the web camera after I installed Windows 7. Double Driver claimed there was no device to install the driver for. I manually copied the files into the Camera Assistance folder and overwrote the existing ones. The files I copied were:
    casflr.cat
    oem34.inf
    restore.ini
    UVCFTR_S.SYS
    Reinstalled Drivers from Toshiba Website
    Extensive goolging has only turned up recommendations to uninstall and reinstall drivers. I was unable to find any drivers specifically for windows 7 64-bit, but I did try those for my model of laptop for Windows Vista 64-bit - no luck. I tried installing Camera Assistance Software for Toshiba, which as far as I can tell, includes the driver - it only gives me the error described above.
    I also tried locating a generic Windows 7 driver for the web camera - I was unable to find one.
    Check Registry Value Is Correct
    I have also tried checked the registry value at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/ControlSet001/Enum/USB/SN001/ClassUID matches the value in C:\Program Files (x86)\Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba\driver\64bit\casflr.inf as and C:\Program Files (x86)\Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba\driver\32bit\casflr.inf recommended by some article recommend.
    Please, I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me out here. I have exhausted all the options I can think of.
    Likely Solution:
    I encountered a thread post that suggested a loose wire was responsible and that the camera would work when the lid was almost closed. I tried this and the camera suddenly appeared in device manager. However, I still can't get it to work with Camera Assistant Software or Skype.

    Hi - I'm a newbie to this forum.
    I have an A300 Satellite Pro - not even 2 years old.
    In the last 2 days I have 2 problems that I think are possibly related.
    1. Like others on here I now cannot get my internal webcam to work. I get the 'webcam driver open failed' message. I have read some forums etc and today I have:
    a) loaded most recent BIOS,
    b) reloaded the webcam software drivers (the most recent seems to be from 2008!)
    c) restarted my laptop about 20 times
    Nothing works
    2. In the last 2 days for the first time I keep getting the 'USB device not recognised' message that annoyingly crops up about every 10 seconds. I am assuming that the webcam is connected to a USB port (internal) and is no longer being recognised. Based on Google advice in various forums I have also:
    1) Turned off the AC power supply
    2.) Taken out the laptop battery and waited 5 mins - this apparently resets the BIOS
    3) tried using device manager in various ways
    Nothing bloody works!!
    Maybe the hardware is damaged but I doubt it - I have not dropped the laptop, I always pack it carefully in a padded rucksack. It has always worked fine until 2 days ago.

  • Photoshop CS5.1 Crashes Upon Opening: "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver-"

    Every time I try to open photoshop I get a window that pops up and says:
    "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements.  Check the video card manufacturer's website for the latest software.

    Then windows shuts the program down.  The details of the problem are:

    The error happens so quickly that I don't have time to do anything.  Please help.  >.<  I've been on hold for *checks phone* 2 hours exactly.  Wow.  It is a legit copy and was working last month with no trouble.  I've updated the drivers and tried a few solutions that have worked for other people that I found on Google (such as disabling CUDA and setting my "power management mode" to "prefer maximum performance" on my video card) but so far nothing has worked.
    Thanks in advance!

    It has stopped crashing because somehow it turned off "Enable GL Drawing" on its own because I could never even get a menu open.  Not sure how it did that but I am grateful.  I still get the error when I open Photoshop up but at least it hasn't crashed yet.  At the time when it was crashing I never would have been able to get you the system info due to the speed that it was crashing upon just opening the program.  In case you still need it:
