Display driver stopped responding..?

[ffreborn]

Dear everybody,

this issue came up since i updated my FF4, and this is really...really suck..

I wonder whether there are any other ways to fix it, please kindly help me

Thanks

Only two things I can think of. 1. Remove the driver and update it. 2. Go back to the older FF. I would try the driver update first. Make sure you reboot after driver installation.

I don't know if this will help, but you don't seem to have any driver installed for your monitor. This shows it is using the Win 7 generic driver.
Don't use the graphics driver Windows update pushes on you, instead, try nVIDIA Latest Drivers.

Dear Britton,

I did uninstall my current driver and update this driver ( NVIDIA DRIVERS 270.61 WHQL ), but as you said above, it still appear like this

That is for your graphics card. You need to find a driver for your monitor probably from the monitor makers website.
That is the latest nVIDIA driver, same one I have.

Alo iyadox,

thanks for your support. I do clearly understand your instruction. I will try then

Thx

 

[ffreborn]

Dear Iyadox,

I did update my chipset follow this ( Sony eSupport - VPCCW17FX - Drivers & Software )

And the problem still occur....hehehehe...people said that it's the issue about Firefox 4....

I dont know what to do know...

 

[Britton30]

Try uninstalling FF4 and see what happens. Use Revo uninstaller to get all the FF files out. Reboot, test, then reinstall FF4 to see if the problem returns.

 

[ffreborn]

dear britton,

I've figured out that the issue connected with FF4 ( especially for windows 7 64bit ). I did uninstall FF4, try with FF3.6 and there is no more problem with my display driver...

I wonder why people still let this bug running around...

Thanks all for your support

 

[ffreborn]

And dear all,

Now i've found out that it was also a problem between FF4 and Adobe flash player...( play youtube movie with a green screen...)

Dear Mozilla and Adobe..please help your poor users...

 

[ffreborn]

Adobe has released new version of flash for FF4,

Let's try it, people ^^

 

[Britton30]

Good to hear it's fixed!
