This is damn frustrating. I don't know whether to blame Blizzard, Toshiba, Windows or Intel. No one seems to have a suitable answer. I just want it gone. It makes the screen blinks when I am playing WOW, or Sims. Worst w/ WOW though. And I am not the only one. Help me!!!

Hi. Some sites recommend turning off the "Aero" function as a temp fix. Might give that a try. http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html;jsessionid=6BFB65D16D8510B7C0253225C6BE84A1?topicId=58857041&pageNo=1&sid=1

apt-get (whateverdriver) [enter]
That is what is done in Linux, sometimes the fglrx or xorg is used.
I do know that on Windows one must uninstall old drivers, reboot, install new ones, reboot test.
The reboot is every OS, well most all, but you normally cannot install or update a driver without removing the old one.
I hate these Intel Ati Chipsets, they are either XP/Vista or they dont work. that is not compliance, as the Sarbanes Oaxley Act set it out, that is Micro way this OS only or stuff will not function.
Boo Microsoft. But that song has been danced to.
Just contact the Software Companies alot! and tell them what is not working, or is not 'compliant'.
Linux works, I love Ubuntu! Sound works, games play, stuff works. That is Compliance. It is also FREE! And Upgrades are not $269 more.

Blame Windows Vista.
Windows Vista has a bad issues with the driver. I warned many people about Windows Vista and now you are the victim.
According to a programmer that work at Microsoft, he said that Windows Vista is 99.5% completes. Should that .5% of all the security and graphic and drivers make that differences?

you probably did no longer say no count number if it relatively is a pc or a working laptop or pc %yet i will attempt besides. 1st. maximum laptops have not got a robust sufficient video card to play sims 2 except the pc is decrease than one million year old and a minimum of midrange cost smart. i'd wager the pictures chip overheated and close down. 2d reason laptops do no longer do video games nicely gaming stresses the hardware and reasons it to generate warmth that the pc cooling equipment can no longer handle. while you're using a deaktop pc you're having the comparable issues as above through extra airborne dirt and dirt or a failing video card or chip. or your hardware is purely too old to play sims 2. in basic terms some reasons on your equipment to shutdown.difficulty shoot the hardware for the above failings. so some distance as providing you with a different answer take it on your interior reach pc restoration save and clarify what's occurring they must be waiting to repair it. you probably did no longer provide us sufficient guidance and in extremely some situations like this it relatively is tricky to diagnose a difficulty without sitting in front of the gadget. so subsequently the final answer is: take it to a interior reach restoration save no longer geek squad or ultimate purchase their socalled techs do no longer understand plenty better than the indians dell employs for their tech help.
