    When I open Control panel > performance info > advanced tools, I get a warning like the one in the attached image. These relate to some warnings in the event viewer (see attached images). Is there anything with nvidia 8400M GT card?

    I am running vista home premium (32-bit).

    What video drivers are you using?

    I have a few of these in my event logs, too. I have the ATI X1400, and I'm pretty sure I get these messages when I'm watching some heavy duty video via VMC, which overtasks my video card. Can you remember what you were doing when the message was logged?
