    My netbook is equipped with a GMA 4500M and the GL40 Express Chipset. The problem is Windows XP crashes everytime I try and load any video file. Does anyone have any insight?

    I've tried all the drivers from Toshiba Support and Intel without any luck.

    Playing MPG2, DivX, and Streaming Video all crashes the computer. Strange if I uninstall the video driver and run the generic VGA, the videos play fine.
