Default graphics card

Hi

Can anyone tell me what graphics cards are ok to run with LW. My one used to crash my machine until I changed the settings from 32 bit down to 16

Cheers

Try grabbing new drivers from the manufacturers site. There's nothing special video wise with LW.

Cheers for that, why does it do that anyway, I'm sure you'll understand I'm a bit apprehensive about changing the setting back to 32 bit

Since the beginning of time, ok maybe 1988, video drivers have conflicted with just about everything. Not much has changed to this day. Years ago they conflicted with mice. The two drivers had to play nice together or the system would hang or crash. Not much has changed. If you find yourself changing the colors from 32 to 16 or having to lower hardware acceleration, you should probably check to see if there are new drivers available.

Well Ive done it, I've updated the drivers so I'll leave it for a couple of days and let you know how it goes. Thanks for your help
