"Display driver igfx has stopped responding..."

[wowfan]

I recently downloaded and installed winvista_159 for the Mobile Intel 965 chipset and when I play World of Warcraft the screen will go black for about 2-3 seconds and then go back to normal. Sometimes the screen will just freeze up completely and I have to exit using task manager. I've searched the web for a solution and all I could find was to install an older driver (151 I think) but I can't download it from Intel. I really don't know what to do and I'm at my wits end. I don't know why this is happening as I've playing WoW for about a year now and never had this problem. The reason I downloaded the update in the first place was I stopped playing for a couple of months and when I came back I was getting very low fps (2-7). A new patch came out while I was not playing so this may have something to do with the low fps. I'm getting very frustrated and would appreciate any help or advice. I'll include some info from my dxdiag in case it might help.

I a have solution to a problem that plagues many players!

I too have been having a problem where about three mins after logging into
WoW the screen goes black for 4-5 seconds, and then continues to do so every
30 seconds or so.

Here are my system specs.

GTW GT5412
OS: Vista Home Premium 32-Bit
Processor: Intel Core 2 1.80Ghz
Ram: 2038MB
Video Card: Intel 82945G Express Chipset Family.

I read all over on the internet trying to fix it, and everyone said to
download the 02/04/07 drivers from intel.com but every time I would run the
installer it would tell me they weren't made for my computer.

Here is how I eventually got it to work.

Step 1:
Download the 02/04/07 drivers from Intel (Version # 15.1) Put them somewhere
you'll remember. (Desktop)
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Filt...eng&sType=prev

Step 2:
Go to [Start -> Control Panel -> Security -> Turn automatic updating on or
off (Under Windows Update) -> Select "Check for updates but let me choose
whether to download and install them.

Step 3:
Go to [Start -> Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> Device Manager ->
Tell Vista to Continue -> Display Adapters -> Right-click and uninstall your
current drivers.

Step 4:
Restart your computer. When Vista opens you will get a message that it is
installing "VGA adapter drivers"

Step 5:
Run "winvista_151" (Driver installer you downloaded earlier)

It should work - and if it comes up with a "Unknown error" than just try
running the installer again.

It worked without a hitch for me, and for my girlfriend's computer too. Hope
it works for all you guys too!

dont worry if your pc goes black for a wile it will have to be tured off manualy then your

pc will go throu so pc things dont wory its ok when its done u will have to restart it again

then it will be FIXED!!:)

IT WILL WORK FOR U i did it on 3 PCs and all fix ok do try
