    Hi there,

    I've been having problems displaying any full screen video since I got my laptop, close to a year ago. The sound goes choppy, and if it's a DVD I regularly get the message that the display driver stopped working, before it continues playing.

    The display driver is ATI Radeon Xpress 200M, and is up to date. I'm not really sure how I can fix it - any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Tom

    That's the manufacturer's driver?
    If so, stop using that useless thing they never update.
    Instead, first download the latest one from ATI.
    Look under the section that has your OS, then look under the integrated section and find the Xpress 200M.
    Then download the mobility modder.
    Follow the instructions and you should be set.
