Default Display Driver Problems

Ok so this happened twice already. I start out on my 4th patrol and i hit the same convoy like before, im about to attack then the SH3 screen goes black and a windows box comes up and says something like this "The lmanrta1 display driver is not working properly. Please save your work and reboot your computer. After you have rebooted your computer Windows will give you the option to report this problem and to upgrade your system." So i rebooted my computer when this message was given and when windows started back up, there was no option to report the problem or to upgrade the system.

Can some one please help me,

I'm just about to retire for the evening but--please list your video card type. If you're not sure what it is,:

1. Go to Control Panel
2. double click System
3. select the Hardware tab on top
4. click Device Manager
5. click the + next to Display Adapters
6. Copy down what it is
7. Highlight the adapter and Right Click it
8. A menu will drop down, click Properties
9. click the Driver tab on top
10. copy down the Driver Version
11. and Please Post that here.

and most importantly...

12. Hang it there. It'll get figured out!

Forgot to tell you that you may have to switch to "Classic View" in Control Panel (upper left).

What Operating System are you using? XP Home?

Thank You.

here is a link to the latest driver (as far as I know anyway).

http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scri...4&submit=Go%21

You can download it and install it. That might fix your problem. It looks like a later driver than the one you currently have. Keep in mind though that this might be a game specific issue and be caused by a setting or corruption in your SH3 Profile.

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\SH3\data\cfg

You may wind up needing to delete something there. Since I haven't had to (yet) I'm not sure what file would need to go...

That's likely cause XP doesn't know what it is. Can you click "Continue?" If so--go ahead.
