    i was playing WoW today for about 2 hours and upon exit received a blue screen mentioning that the "video memory manager had an unexpected error." i'm running vista home premium 32bit with the 169.09 "crysis" drivers from laptopvideo2go.com; see sig for hardware. i've played WoW before on this laptop and did not receive this error before. today was the first time, but i've had this laptop for less than a week. i think the people on this thread @ worldofwarcraft.com and this guy on this forum have encountered the same problem as i have.

    i guess it's the drivers, but i'm wondering if anyone else has ever had this problem and know if it is actually the drivers and if there are drivers that anyone might know that will not cause this problem.

    also, i checked the temp of my gpu while playing. it never went over 81C.

    thanks in advance.

    playing oldish games on vista can cause BSOD, it happens to me every now and again.
