    I was. It seems to indicate a registry problem (if you have been using a registry cleaner, this may be the result; it could also just be registry corruption that occurs from time to time) and two features that seem to not be starting as they should.

    I think there is a problem with McAfee's Virus Scanner software. I haven't used a registry cleaner for the computer, but McAfee did crash once on 20/08/2011. I have attached another log file.

    Have you had a chance to follow the instructions in the link I gave to uninstall and re-install McAfee?

    I un-installed and re-installed McAfee months ago, but it didn't make any difference. I might have un-installed it wrongly. The laptop seems to be working fine at the moment, though. The Virtual Technician must have fixed the problem that was causing the video hardware errors.

    That is good news. :) Let us know how things go over the next few days.

    I got a video hardware error nearly an hour ago. I don't know if McAfee is at fault, as I used Virtual Technician a few minutes ago and it told me that no problems were found this time. I have attached another log file. I don't have any webcam software installed at the moment, but a driver for the laptop's webcam is installed. Could that be affecting the computer?

    Everything looks clean. Maybe we should rule out all applications and services as a possibility to start: Troubleshoot Application Conflicts by Performing a Clean Startup

    I'll try that later. The video hardware errors seem to happen when I'm browsing the Internet on websites such as YouTube, GameFAQs and pojo.com. Also, when I go to Sonic the Comic Online, the website says that it works better with Internet Explorer 7 and up, and it recommends that I upgrade to a newer web browser. However, I already upgraded to IE 9 recently.

    Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing Internet Explorer 9? How do I install or uninstall Internet Explorer 9?

    Thanks for the help, writhziden. I haven't tried un-installing and re-installing Internet Explorer 9, but I'll try that later. IE might be the cause of the video hardware errors based on information from the action centre.
