Display driver error Windows 7

I recently installed a new hard drive in my T61 and did a clean installation of Windows 7. My laptop now stalls a bit and the screen goes black and then the screen returns to normal and a message pops up informing me that the display driver has an error but fixed itself. This keeps happening and I'm wondering if there's anything that can be done to fix it? Also, my cursor is skipping around a bit. I'm not sure if these problems are related...
I made sure to update the drivers and BIOS with ThinkVantage Update 4.0 so I'm not sure if maybe there is an additional driver that I need to install. Any help would be appreciated!

Hello,
Under Microsoft Windows 7, software is normally uninstalled from the Programs and Features applet (filename: APPWIZ.CPL) in the Control Panel.
These days, having the correct device drivers for your video chip (and having them correctly installed) is more of a requirement than an option, since so many features of recent versions of Windows depend upon having correctly functioning video (i.e., being able to display 24-bit color, support for higher resolutions, Aero Glass support and so forth).
If you are uncomforable or unsure of the exact steps, perhaps a more PC-savvy friend could assist you, or you could call Lenovo tech support and get a second opinion or a walk-through on how to reinstall the video device driver software for your ThinkPad T61.

Have a Sony Viao E series and get an "imcompatible display driver" error message

Get an "Incompatible Display Driver" error message when attempting to use Adobe Premiere Elements 12 on a Sony Vaio E series laptop.
How to solve this problem?
Thanks

I Googled, and Sony says that is a discontinued model, so I can't find a specification page
Amazon does have a couple models, and BOTH say motherboard integrated Intel graphics adapter
That makes me think the laptop discussed here has Intel AND AMD graphics adapters
To the OP (Original Poster) Go to the Windows Control Panel and select Hardware and Sound and then select Device Manager... In Device manager you click the + sign to the left of Display Adapters... and see if 2 are listed
If YES, read below

Dc7900 crashes and has display driver error

Hello,
Just bought this off lease unit and the computer keeps crashing. When it doesnt crash it has issues with the display at times and recovers saying that there was a display driver error and that it was recovered.
Any idea on how to fix this? The comp was originally visa but now has windows 7 32bit business on it. My action center for windows 7 says on the maintenance tab that my intel graphics driver has stopped working what does this mean and how do I fix it?
Thanks!

Satellite T130-02F - Display Driver Error

Hi There,
I just purchased the Satellite T130-02F and after choosing 32bit running system I had the power connected to charge battery up and then started to get "display driver errors" where the screen would flash black and then flash back on. I've checked device manager and driver details, the drive is upto date and as far as I can see is the correct driver. I've searched sites to see if there ar other drivers out there, but its up to date.
I haven't installed anything extra on the computer yet and find I get the error more regularly on the battery rather than power which concerns me. The computer is less than 24hrs old.
Any advice?
Mobile Intel (R) display chip set.
Windows 7 installed 32bit.

Hi
In your case I would try reinstalling the display driver. You can find the latest version on the Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
After this make sure that the newest BIOS version is installed. You can download it on the Toshiba website too.
If nothing works your only chance is an authorized service provider. It seems to be a hardware problem and must be checked from professional people.

Trouble installing latest Intel Display Driver for Windows 7

Anyone else experiencing issues trying to install the latest Intel Display Driver for Windows 7, version 8.15.10.2057, dated 2 Mar 2010?
This is the second updated driver release that refuses to install due the following error while running setup.exe: This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software.
I've verified compatibility and have disabled Switchable graphics and selected Integrated Graphics in the BIOS
System: T400, 2764-CTO running Windows 7 (64-bit)
Thanks...

bwpotter,
Appears you selected the right .inf file for Win7/64. Notwithstanding the error flags, are you sure the driver did not install?
For WinXP/32, the equivalent file name is kit22686.inf. In the case of WinXP (likely similar for Vista and Win7), Lenovo's file-set will unpack to C:\drivers\WIN\DISPLAY2. The .inf file that appears in the Device Manager install-routine lives one level down, in C:\drivers\WIN\DISPLAY2\Graphics. Only one .inf file resides in this directory.
When forcing installation of the driver under WinXP, error messages appear that are similar (but not necessarily identical) to those you encountered. Still, after a sequence of five or six such error messages, the driver does load and can be verified after a reboot. (The new driver has performed to spec for the past several days--no issues whatsoever.)
The final splash screen in the series reports "Completing the Hardware Update Wizard." (This message does not, however, necessarily denote a successful installation.)
In the case of WinXP, the errors appear to be generated by the installer, igxpun.exe (v1.2.30.0). Note that the flaky display driver installation should generate an error log. Search for an error log file using the string "*appcompat.txt" (no quotes) and see what it says.
In the end, the problems with this package can be attributed to simple sloppiness (vendors commonly forget to eat their dog food) and should be quickly fixed if the community barks loudly.
Hope this helps.

Nvidia Display Driver Error

New T61-CTO system, Vista 32 with Nvidia Quadro NVS140M that is not even a week old.
The system is very unstable, crashing almost daily with a display driver error. About half the time it is able to recover and I get the following message, "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding but has recovered.....". The other half the computer crashes to blue screen or just freezes with a corrupted display and I am forced to hard-power-off to restart. About 75% of the time the error occurs at startup, but sometimes just randomly while working.
There is lots of info about this driver problem online but mostly for different display adaptors on desktop systems. For the record I have the following display driver installed: 7.15.11.5685 and it is dated 12/10/07. Nvidia does not provide support for this display adaptor and refers you to the system manufacturer. Strangely, the driver on the Lenovo site is 7.15.11.0145 and dated 7/12/07, not sure why my system shipped with a driver that is not listed on the support site.
Any information on resloving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi WillThePill, and welcome to the Lenovo User Community!
I come up with a newer driver version 7.15.11.7693 2009/01/13 on the Lenovo support site:

Satellite L10-190 - Display driver for Windows 7

Hi,
reading the message below *I* *wonder about this anwer* from Toshiba support! Why *not* installing Win 7 on an "oldie"? I did the same and it works very well. But I have got the same problem as Assim. And everybody knows, that Intel has not the intention to allocate a Win 7-driver for this chip (INTEL 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics). In my opinion, this is not a correct behaviour.
I think either TOSHIBA or INTEL should allocate such a driver for their clients. This would be a minimum of support. Perhaps you think about...
Best regards,
FES

Correct
Hi
Im wondering that you installed Windows 7 on this oldie. In my opinion Windows XP would be the better choice but ok, you can do what you want ;)
Anyway, as far as I know your notebook is equipped with an Intel graphic card so I would recommend downloading the driver form Intel directly because the Toshiba website shows only Windows XP display drivers.

Check this!!!

It is not so easy like you think. As you know hardware and software development goes together. With other words with new operating system there are new requirements for hardware and you can see on new notebooks sticker like Designed for WXP or Designed for Vista.
So now you and many other notebook users have old piece of hardware but want to use newest and latest software on it. OK I can understand it but can you understand that notebook manufacturer on some step must say: enough for old models. Who want to have newest stuff must also have newest hardware. Maybe sounds stupid now but for me it sounds logical.
The whole consumer products industry follows this logic I think.
You must also understand that support is not cheap and if you want to support old hardware with new operating systems you must have team of programmers who must design hundreds of drivers, tools and utilities and also many people who must test it before it comes to the customers. It is the army of people who are very expensive.
How the question is: is this rentable for the industry? To be honest I don't think so.

Got Display driver via Windows Update for Windows 8.1 and try to use it for Windows Server 2012 R2

Hi Everyone,
the following driver cab is from Windows Update:
https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=5be01620eea95d8c&id=5BE01620EEA95D8C!138&ithint=file,.cab&authkey=!APDi54-R1Ob5IWQ
It includes this display driver:
Intel(R) Q45/Q43 Express Chipset (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1)
My problem is: I can't install this driver on Windows Server 2012 R2.
I tried the following, nothing worked:
a) pnputil -i -a intel.cab
b) Extract cab, update the device's driver in device manager, select "search for driver software in this location"
c) copy the files in system32/, system32/drivers, syswow64/ from a Windows 8.1 system to a Windows Server 2012 R2 system
Isn't it true that any Windows 8.1 driver should also work for Windows Server 2012 R2 (same os version)?
Thanks for your replies.

Windows 7 display driver error on Satellite L300D

Hey guys, I have recently upgraded the OS on my Satellite L300D (PSLC8A), from Vista 32bit to Win7 32bit, but I need a better driver for the graphics card, an ATI Radeon 3100 256MB, and every time I try and run either the Win7 driver from the ATI website, or even the graphics drivers from the Toshiba websites (Ive tried the Vista display driver, the display driver for the Satellite L300D-ST3501 from the European website for windows 7 display driver etc etc) and every time I try, I get the same message, it goes through the entire process, then says it fails, always failing at the same part, at the ATI Display Driver installation
Am I trying the wrong driver? Is there not one out for my laptop for 7? I dont quite understand, and any help would be appreciated
Also like to point out, that Ive attempted to allow it to tell me when Win7 finds something new and needs permission, and have tried running *every* time in admin mode.

Hi
First of all you should find out what graphic card is built-in.
Install an free hardware diagnostic tool. You could use Everest Home Edit. for example.
This would help you to get more details about your GPU.
After that you could investigate a little bit what Toshiba notebooks have been equipped with the same graphic card chip.
I noticed that many series use the same devices like the same graphic card or chipset
Anyway. The Toshiba US driver page contains many Win 7 drivers you will find also some Win 7 drivers on Toshiba European driver page
Download the ATI driver for a notebook which has been equipped with the same graphic chip and you would get the compatible one!
Then install the driver in device manager! Yes, go to device manager and use the advanced installation this allows you to point to the ATI driver files.
This installation procedure should work

"GPU enhancements/display driver" error with NVidia GeForce 8600 GTS

I am currently evaluating a demo of Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended. I am using a NVidia GeForce 8600 GTS video card. When I open the application, I get this error:
Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disables GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturer's website for the latest software.
GPU enhancements can be enabled in the Performance panel of Preferences.
Here's the thing - the NVidia graphics driver I'm using is current! It's version 195.62. And here are the specifications of my video card (which is about a few years old).
I am using Windows XP Home 32-bit SP3 with 2GB of DDR2 memory. Processor is AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+.
I've read over the functionality that this error message affects, and I'm not sure I understand it. If my video card is using its most current driver, what the heck am I to do? How badly will this handicap my Adobe Photoshop experience? (For reference, I plan on not doing that much using the 3D capabilities of Photoshop - but it may be interesting one day.)
Also, one bug I'm experiencing is that the Layers window is present, but its contents don't appear unless I click on it.
I'm not sure if I'm open to buying a new video card just to satisfy my Photoshop needs. Any help is much appreciated in overcoming this error and enabling FULLY-operational functionality of Photoshop CS4. Thanks!

Here is a link that may help with old GPU's. Also ensure before you update the drivers that opengl is turned off otherwise PS will use the old drivers.
