    Display driver error

    I'm running Windows 7 pro - 64 bit. I've been getting an error message and the screen temporarily blanks out.

    Here is the message:
    "display driver stopped responding and has recovered
    display driver intel graphics accelerator drivers for windows vista(R) stopped
    responding and has successfully recovered"

    Since I am running Win7, this doesn't seem to make sense - any suggestions??

    Thanks...I ran the update and there were 7 optional updates that I found and updated. Not sure if that will fix it, but hopeful!
