That sounds odd and it makes no sense. It is Series 7:

Is Vista a Clean Install or an upgrade in that computer? Did you run the detection utility?

[phoenix123]

but where abouts do u download the drivers from on that page and whats the detection utility

Select Option 2 here:

Try this driver:

ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/notebook/asp....15.10.9759.zip

Hint:

As soon as you use a driver, it gets stored into Vista's driver store. This store is protected so you can't go fiddling in it, even though its visible at c:\windows\system32\driverstore, you can't edit anything in it. What you needed to do is to remove the driver from the store so it would copy it again from where you downloaded the driver. Even if you specify update driver, if it thinks its the same as the one in the store, it will use the stored one, and you will end up with an outdated driver.

Before activating the Setup program, uninstall the device in Device Manager and the driver should be removed from the driver store. Then remove previous nVidia installations from the Add/Remove programs

Once done run Setup.exe from the Video nVidia G73M, G72MV 7.15.10.9759 downloaded folder.

Hi, phoenix123

Other than to tell you that the consensus in the internet is that this driver is troublesome, I don't see what else to do. The version in the download is Version 97.59. Check your Device Manager. Right click on the Display adapter and select properties. Is that the version displayed therein?

[phoenix123]

yep... thats the driver thats installed ok... but is there a way of fixing it

Other than replacing the adapter with a better one, I am afraid there is not. Some games need a better graphic driver. The one in your system has proven to be troublesome.

but surly you can do something because all it does is stop responding ad then it sucessfully recovers

The problem seems to be by design. There is nothing we can do about it.
