"Display Driver igfx has stopped working" during game, ANNOYED

Hiya

I have a Medion 5517 that is on Windows Vista.

I am trying to play world of warcraft on it. Three times when I have tried using it I have got an error saying "Display Driver igfx has stopped working" and the screen goes black, and then the image comes back but it is very large. And the only way to get rid of it is by shutting down the PC.

I can see no reason as to why the laptop shopuld do this, as the spec should run WoW no problem

Regards,
Indie

    Check to make sure your graphics AND sound drivers are up to date, believe it or not sound drives can cause awful problems during game play!

  • It seems to be a common fault with World Of Warcraft according to google. But I just can't seem to find a resolution to it.

    Might be worth making sure your running the game as administrator as that can "sometimes" help
