So I go to watch MLBtv.com, and I get a jumpy picture and a warning message that my device driver has stopped working and has recovered. Until eventually the computer just crashes. It works fine to watch you tube videos, and other streaming video. My video card seems to be allright, as I am able to run higher end graphics (Civilization IV runs just fine). Not quite sure what is going on...can anyone give me any advice or hints as to what is going on?

One thing to try is to go the video card drivers web site and get the latest drivers they have. Too often Windows will do an update and bring in new drivers for devices and they don't always work the best. Better to get device drivers from the manufacturer.

I think that is what is going on. It doesn't recognize any updates, and the system says that the device driver is working properly. I tried to install the drivers that came with my monitor, but in order to do that, I would need to un-install the existing driver. I haven't quite been brave enough to do that yet...

The odd thing is that I haven't made any changes since last year, when the MLBtv worked just fine. Not quite sure what happened...

My guess would be that the web site made changes. Second guess would be updates to browser or not updating browser. Third would be down level plug in for viewing. The idea that something suddenly went wrong with the driver for the monitor is further down the list.

Video card is an ATI Radeon Xpress 1150. Error message orignally said "display driver atikmdag stopped responding and has recovered". It does that a few times, then a full crash. So I downloaded a different driver. Now the error message says "display driver R300 stopped responding and has recovered", also ending in a full crash. So I go to the ATI HSOforum, download their recommended/most recent driver, and it is back to the original error message about display driver atikmdag stopping working.

So now I am wondering if it is actually the driver, and not something else.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
