Ok, I've about had it with Vista. It won't let me play Company of Heroes at all (my favorite game, ironically). Whenever I play it, it runs fine for 10 minutes or so and then it says that my display driver stops working, shortly followed by a BSOD. Is there any way I can fix this or should I just buy XP? Thanks.
Do you have the newest graphics driver? We had a lot of graphical issues when vista came out, (dell vostro 1000's mainly) but upgrading the driver does the trick now. Go to ati or nvidia site and download the newest driver

Check temps of graphics card, remove any overclocks and reinstall graphics drivers.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
Did this a while ago (just reinstalled CoH for SP1) and neither worked.Freezer7Pro wrote:

And apparently I have the latest drivers.

Are you getting a 'nvlddmkm' driver failure? If so, check here:

Any other suggestions?
Come on guys.
I had this with COH around last fall, hasn't bothered me since then.
I'm pretty sure it had to do with nVidia rather than Vista though, get a different set of drivers and see.

I've had this problem with 3 or 4 different drivers, including the ones that came with my card, beta drivers, and the current latest (unless there's a newer version than 169.25).
