Curse

Occasionally, as I play GW, the screen will go black and then a message will pop up with the heading that says, "Windows-Display Driver Stopped Responding", with a message that says, "The ialmrnt5 display driver has stopped working normally. Save your work and reboot the system to restore full display functionality. The next time you reboot the machine a dialog will be displayed giving you a chance to upload data about this failure to Microsoft."

And everything on the desktop is HUGE. I usually have to hard boot the computer, but today I was actually able to reboot it properly.

Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?

Thanks for your help in advance.

System specs would help, afterall we arn't mind readers here

I gather from your message you have an intel graphics chip, if so go to the intel web site and update your drivers

ialmrnt5 - is an Intel driver component.

(Many Edits)

You have an intel 915 on-board graphics. Not official supported by GW but you may be able to get them to work,

Try these drivers - http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scri...4&submit=Go%21

It says its Intel 900. Here's the context: "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900...."

Also update Microsoft Direct X - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
