Update graphics driver for ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
This is the problem I am struggling with.

While working in Excel for example, or stationary in Desktop, the screen flash once or twice and freeze as if the refresh rate frequency is not right.
The system respond to no input from mouse or keyboard
Seems as if in a HUNG state.
Have to force a power shut down and restart.
On restart.., the system operates without any problem.
The problem occurs
few seconds after start up
if not then any time during the day
occurrence: three to four times per week

The error massage displayed after startup:
“Update graphics driver.”

The laptop is a
Toshiba Satellite P200 – 113, PSPB6E – 12F046 2A


The monitor and display drivers :

ghn, you ask whether the OS is up to date..
I am Jan Enslin, when I baught the Laptop the installed OS was Vista.
I enjoyed working with Vista, but that is when this problem started. while under guarantee the problem could not be solved as usual..
I then decide to replace Vista with XP, but the problem stayed with me.
the local helpers can not help and since you are the first and only man on duty.., hopefully may be able to help.
email address is jan@gracesolutions.co.za
thank you ghn

I will be tough to find an XP driver for this GPU!

You might want to visit Omega Driver and see if there is a way to use one of their mod drivers.

Check here - not the best site to download from, but I have used it with some success... I personally would have not downgraded, but gone up to win7 and get the latest driver support... (tip, when you update the video driver always update the motherboard chipset driver, unless they are 'integrated' like some ATI/AMD chipsets and intel chipsets...)..
