    Hey Guys!

    Well I got my new SZ730E/C today! I have one problem though, I did a clean install of Vista Ultimate x86 and everything works fine except.. when I go into stamina mode the screen keeps flicking on and off every couple of minutes. Then I get an error message that saids, "Display driver igfx has stopped working.."

    I think the drivers are messed up or something but I tried every driver from Mujiins tutorial and it still doesn't work. Any help please?

    i dunno, but when i installed the nvidia driver after a fresh install, and went into stamina mode, i had to reinstall the intel graphics driver. I used a file called winvista_1561. That worked no problem. It is an intel .exe that installs drivers for the chipset.

    I own a 730 E/C and the intel graphics driver version is 7.14.10.1244 if that helps you any bit.. driver date is 3/30/2007


    Also, I have heard driver problems when you upgrade your vista version (i.e. home premium to business or ultimate).. but for an intel driver, should not be a problem I think..

    Try running auto-update for your display adapter from the control panel or alternatively you could download modded drivers from laptopvideo2go.com and see if they work.

    Also be sure to keep windows and your drivers up to date with windows update.

    I have this problem too. After updating the bios and the intel graphics driver, my SZ650N is flickering and having the igfx has stopped responding error, only in stamina mode.
